Back in the mid 1980's I painted my car using PPG's lacquer paint - Duracryl 9300 Black. While changing a florescent light bulb I dropped it on the hood. It dented and chipped the older brittle paint. I had kept a 2/3 quart of DDL 9300 and the matching sealer all these years for just such an emergency. I gave the hood and paint to a painter who was reccomended to me. He stripped, repaired and painted the hood but didnt use the sealer. After a month small bleed through dots started to appear. They would not compound out. He used ALL THE ORIGINAL PAINT on the hood. We have tried two different reccomended blacks in an attempt to match the color. They do not match. The only option appears to be to use the original DDL 9300 Black paint. I have chased down all the current references on the internet and cannot find any DDL 9300. I'm now searching the forums and saw a thread mentioning the paint on the Chevy forum. Does ANYONE have any PPG DDL 9300 to buy or know of where I can buy any? I'm getting pretty desperate because the rest of the paint job looks beautiful. Any help would be appreciated. Keith

It souds like the DDL900 was applied during a time when the humidity was very high and moisture traped is escaping.
Was a big problem back in the acrylic lacquer days.
