.

the 69 was smooth and the 70 was textured.

 

the orig formula is no longer available but some people use sems trim black for the 69.

I've never seen the texture finish.  What was it like, wrinkle finish, heavy orange peel, hammer finish?  I've only known one person with a 1970 Mach 1 and it had a smooth finish satin or semi gloss finish.

the 70 finish was like fairly fine sand . it was nothing like a wrinkle finish or stucco.

I ordered the low gloss black from the Auto Color Library. It is p/n 9432 according to a thread on Concoursemustang.com. I have not tried it, as my car isn't painted yet. I also bought the pinstriping wheel like the ones that was used at the factory from them. 
 
There's an interesting video on youtube too about the blackout hood paint.

Back in the day..We started with gloss paint and added flattener and did test

panels till we got what looked right.

 

Looking right did not mean its was right..

I found an orignal Mach 1 hood that was stored in a dealership since 1979.  It had been crunched in the front so it was buckled (sad to say).  But I had my paint shop match the flat back that was on this hood.  Since it was stored for 40 years the color had not faded.  

If the sikkens and other options, dont work out I will asked the shop what specifically they used to match the original color.  Just let me know.

Here is the recipe they used on my Mach

In 69 it was not actually black. It was dark blue.

You replied to a question which was from 2 years ago, and which was the OP's only post. He probably won't see the answer, however, this  question  does comes up often.

This is a 69 hood ,someone cut out the pie cut outs ,I am afraid the paint is pretty bad from setting outside ,the black is flat black with no texture . You may be able to get some of the measurements for the black out if the pics are good enough . I have noticed a lot of cars have the corners painted wrong in the front ,way to round ,it was actually a tighter corner as this one is

A couple better pics of the side and front measurements

I realize that we are on a old thread but just to throw out some info; Graphic Express has a wide array of hood stencils. I bought one for my painter to use. Looks great. He used a two stage paint on my car and as I recall put a flattening agent in the clear coat over the black. Unsure which black he used but it was Sherwin-Williams. I have the bill in a binder that may have part numbers for the paint. I can look if someone needs that info..   Dave R
