Organisol Paint

[c1968man]

Has anyone tried this paint..... just curious on the quality of it does it match the original which was a highly textured semi gloss black look? I would appreciate any info or recommendations as i want to duplicate the original look on the rear tail panel and shaker bubble on my 1971 Cuda. Thanks in advance

I had my local paint supplier mix me up a quart to paint my old lift off hood on my Coronet.

you cannot replicate "real" organisol paint...spoken from a painter who knows ppg formulas. The original texture additive is very unique. Gen 2 of ppd organisol used a different texture additive but it worked. DDL9355

PPG makes a urethane DCC9355 but it is not the same
I have sprayed all 3, the urethane is not even close but works well for other applications. I would look for a ppd dealer who still has a lacquer system...doubtful and go from there. If you have a big wallet i have real and real #2 organisol.

I can vouch for his paint. I used the black organisol and the light argent to satisfactorily results.

I would just like to add that my AAR when purchased in 1973 with only 16K miles, from a Plymouth dealership, had no gloss in the Organised paint. Also, the tops of the fenders had so much texture it would catch the towel when buffing the wax on th paint below.

I used acrylic enamel PPG/Dupont mixed with 25% lacquer thinner on the hood of a 71 Duster 340 and IMO came out great. If you get wax on it you can wipe off the wax(within 5 minutes) without any trace of being there.

There are a lot of "formulas" that are proposed to replicate organasol. They all fail the test badly if you park a real organasol painted car next to them. I spent "too much" money to buy two quarts of original a few years back when I redid my AAR, but it was worth it in retrospect for a higher end restoration. It lays down far differently than regular paint. I love the look.

and there you have it...oh yes it lays down very very different...the flow of the paint thru the gun should be opened with a larger nozzle/cap combo as you have to be very carefull because it's at least 150% reduction to spray and laquer thinner may "bite" thru the base coats if it is not the proper base coat.

Where do you get the expensive stuff and what brand ?

 

[ctaarman]

To my knowledge, nobody makes it now. Original cans are extremely rare. Wish I had a better answer for you.

You can get it in an aerosol or a quart if I remember correctly.

Does adding lacquer thinner to acrylic enamel act as a flattner? what does that do?

I am not being a perfectionist on this build, I am just building a nice driver as close to stock without getting crazy.
I used SEM black trim paint (matte sheen) sprayed wet on wet over a black epoxy primer (acting as a sealer)
the epoxy primer is very thick and i turned my pressure down and held gun distance about 14 inches. this gave it a bit of a orange peel texture. I wasn't trying to get fancy, just wanted a little texture to replicate factory. it kinda worked, but i was very happy with the sheen. it matches my Gull Wing spoiler i got from Dales Cuda shop.
