Can I still get this mixed ? Green. Thx

Call these people and ask for the restoration shop. Tell them you are after suede paint and what color. Aint cheap but it is the correct stuff. https://tcpglobal.com/pages/restoration-shop

It's "suede" finish - wrinkle is what's on the unsilenced air cleaner lids - and was a lacquer finish.
Had no gloss at all, and a fairly fine but rough texture.
Another source is 8774paint1.com but I haven't tried his; his argent is pretty good, though.
If you search the archives here, you'll see a lot of threads on the topic.

If you can find a paint supplier that still sells lacquer then they can mix it from the code in the FSM.

Last I checked: not the paint that'a the problem, but the Suede additive used.
Anyone know what component was added to give that finish?
Had used a PPG black textured lacquer 1 time.
Suede was like a very fine sandy particle was added to the paint..

As a matter of fact I do ... and its sold on Amazon. However, finding or buying it isn't the problem. First you need to know which shade to use - flat, satin, semi gloss, etc. THEN you need to know how much of the additive to use.

I'll find the stuff and post here shortly.


Well I just did a search and now I can't find it. Give me a day or so - I'm probably not using the same search words I did last time.

What's not cheap?
I have a 1/2 pint or so of non thinned black suede left over form my Charger that I did years ago. If I remember correctly that would = a quart mixed which should be more than enough to do a dash and column. Doubt I'll ever have a need for it

The sheen is flat.
Spray pressure & distance come into play when spraying it.
Basically, you shoot it "dry".
I have old formula #s - DuPont & etc IIRC - but not sure they could be cross-referenced exactly.
Kinda like Organisol, most textures I've seen are too smooth and most sheens aren't quite flat enough.

I don't remember if I ordered a pint or quart but it was $215 some years ago but it covered 2 dashes and 1 steering column in black

Photos of the TCP Global suede dash paint in 69 Black & 69 Tan on recent dashes I restored. Very nice...I highly recommend them.

^^^ That looks legit, especially the one on the right (likely because of less camera flash).

The dash pads are intriguing - seem to differ from each other; I'm not bustin' your stones, just curious...

Referring to both the colors and pads, The black one looks the closest IMO, but as mentioned could be the camera flash. It is a strange paint as it is flat but has a very slight sheen to it as well as a very fine texture you can feel but it otherwise smooth

I remember decades ago the 1st time I wiped off the top of a suede dash: the texture pulled the lint off the towel...
It was kinda like 400-grit sandpaper.
I also recall seeing a small can of flattening paste years later that seemed to have fine sand in it.

Dash pads are the same....tan one had to be dyed as it was made in black vinyl. The black one is as made....no dye.

Beautiful. That is exactly what I need. Thanks
