Go to ppg dealer and get dp74lf. You didn't say what year/palnt you are working on so I can't tell you how to tint

+1 and a qrt of black, same product, to tint with, should you want/need to. And you will, the straight DP74 is just too red out of the can. The black will "brown it down".

Those are really nice clean ones... most I've seen are not so clean and crisp. But as noted, they are easily replicated in a restoration and it is a very common area of rust on most every mustang . You lucky

Wonder if they do satin chrome? May give them a call.

I was referring to a 69 hood blackout treatment. Would this SEM product be appropriate to the blackout ?

IMHO having shot both. No

Pete , that finish came out as close to the factory finished as far as gloss and texture is concerned as any car could be. Considering a real person with a spray gun in his hand applied it vs a factory spray machine, it was true blue for sure !

These cars were sprayed by hand also pretty much like they would have been at any body shop, with a high end booth of the time. Difference was that the paint was supplied through a series of hoses and large container of paint rather than in the gun (gravity feed). 

Now comparing todays spray guns and methods are often very different from the 60's and often this can create a challenge. Great to hear you achieved an original like finish

Ok , thanks... so as you have sprayed both.. what exactly do you use for the 69 hood blackout

I sprayed my car with original acrylic enamel and no one even knew. They all assumed it was a base coat, clear coat modern paint.

Jeff, would this (SEM) be appropriate for the hood blackout ?

Are you referring to the base black used on hoods that were painted body color on the top side and edges?  If so I can see using it for that purpose though I would not use it for both engine compartment and bottom of the hood on the same car out of the can

timex...takes a licking and keeps on ticking....

I dated her in high school !

And remember, in the late 60s to late 70's , many of these cars were just "used cars" and changed hands frequently as such. Mine is a 2 owner car purchased 5 years from the original buyer. I had my Gt500 for 11 years staring in 2001, and was the third owner.
