Does the natural armor bonus, a draconic bloodline sorcerer gains from his "Dragon Resistances (Ex)" stack with natural armor he acquired from his race? I think it dosen't stack, but I am not completely sure.
I a play 5th sorcerer/4th dragon disciple Kobold ('cause kobolds are cool) .
A kobold has a racial natural armor bonus of +1
His effective level for Bloodline powers is 9, so his Dragon Resistances (Ex) give him a natural armor bonus of +2
The 4 levels in DD give him a natural "armor bonus increase" of +2
Is his natural armor now +4 or +5 ?

The rules are actually very clear:
Natural Armor Increase (Ex): As his skin thickens, a dragon disciple takes on more and more of his progenitor's physical aspect. At 1st, 4th, and 7th level, a dragon disciple gains an increase to the character's existing natural armor (if any), as indicated on Table: Dragon Disciple. These armor bonuses stack.

Oh, you're asking about
Dragon Resistances (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain resist 5 against your energy type and a +1 natural armor bonus. At 9th level, your energy resistance increases to 10 and natural armor bonus increases to +2. At 15th level, your natural armor bonus increases to +4.
By the rules, no, it doesn't stack. (Notice it doesn't say you get another +1 at 9th, but rather says it's +2 at 9th.) Your DM could rule that it wasn't considered that a PC could have natural AC and give it to you anyway, but that's between you and your DM.

It doesnt stack, but your natural armor bonus becomes +2 at 9th level for Dragon Resistances.
This would mean that Natural Armor increase would count up from +2 instead of +1, since you take the highest bonus you have (if there are multiple instances of the same bonus).

+4 it is! Thank all of you. :)

In fact the DM can't rule that.... because I am the DM. That little guy is the "If one of you guys want to be the DM for a while (Pleeeease!), I am going to play this character so we don't need to introduce a new one that mysteriously disappears, when it is my turn to be the DM again."-character. Basically he stands in a corner, is quite good in being cute as hell and does magic missiles, or pushes the chars into the right direction... if they are going to kill themselves.
