Texture dash paint

I took my glove box door to the PPG paint store by my house. The lady took one look at it, and then broke out some compound and polished it. Turns out the dark green textured paint was a dead on match for the F8 green the rest of the car was painted.

Once we knew the color, she mixed up some single stage F8 in omni. Then she took a small amount of the paint and mixed in some flattening agent. We did a little test blot, and dried it with heat. Darnd if it wasn't a perfect match.

I bought the quart of F8 green Omni, and a quart of the flattening agent. Went home and mixed up a batch and sprayed it with my touch up gun. I tried a couple of times on a test panel until I got the proper ammount of flattner in it. I believe it was only a few oz per cup, but you will just have to try it with the color you want to use. I believe she told me that you could mix it up to 50% .

It went on smooth and shiny, but dried to a nice flat/textured finish. I couldn't be happier. I have been using that flattening agent in all kinds of stuff since then.
