    1972 Duster Fuel FIller Neck - Can I use one from 1973?

    Hood Paint (flat black) clear

    From searching, it appears that the correct flat black for a 1972 Duster hood is 'organisol' ddl9355 or PPG formula (DCC-9355) but what about the clear coat? This is a textured black, can it be cleared with a flat clear? Anyone cleared their flat black hoods?
