69 TA stripes were also Tyrol.
Suede mix adds more of a grain than an orange peel.
It was supposed to give additional aid to defracting light / glare - along with the flat sheen of the color. Double whammy .
You will never get the aftermarket products to look like the factory applied finish did.
Looks cheap to me and i quit using it a long time ago.
If you can bake the finish right after application at about 250-300* like the factory did you might get factory looking results with suede mix.
It did tend to "smooth out" some with age on the factory finishes.
Most of the aftermarket suede mix just makes a bumpy surface that later creates problems with cleaning techniques down the road. Most end up slathering it with armor-all to get it to look uniform again. Aftermarket flat paint with suede mix added is not very forgiving.

Very true Barron heat gun after you spray works sometimes if you don't get carried away.
