hey Wild RT, what powder did you use, and was it a close match?

It's a very close match.. It's a product made by Tiger Drylaq I don't know the code, it's a textured black.. The guy that did it has retired so I can't get the code.. Sorry..

Checked with my local paint shop.. the suede additive for that paint was discontinued 6 years ago...

Now what.... any one else doing anything different...?

Here's some info on the Tiger Drylac powder coat that I found.

Tiger Drylac
Powder Coat product #s.
These are also listed as interior application powder coats.

RAL 3000 Fine Texture (not sure if this is gloss or matte) (Series 89 Polyester-Epoxy Blend Low/Fast Cure)

RAL 3000 Rough Texture Glossy (Series 89 Polyester-Epoxy Blend Low/Fast Cure)

RAL 3000 Rough Texture Matte (Series 09 Polyester-Epoxy Blend)

Hard to say which one is right without seeing a sample in person. I found a pdf online that showed samples, but very hard to know which is right. I'm gonna ask my paint supplier if they can help in getting some samples.

I looked Eastwood's site and they have one textured black powder but it looks dull.

Anyone else have info on a black textured powder coat that would be close to correct for a black dash. Not sure if it would be a gloss or semi gloss.

Thanks
