I had one guy offer to custom mix it. He spent 3 hours on it while I stood with him, then kept the lid for 2 weeks and called and said it was the first paint he couldnt match. Would be nice if someone out there could get it figured out. I plan on re-painting mine anyway, but there are several people who really are set on keeping that factory color. I do like how easy it is to see though. Just too many that all look alike on the pond.

I had so many tell me it would be no big deal. Then I had a fiberglass/ gelcoat shop send a spare factory hatch I had out to a company who custom mixes gelcoat and "Garauntees" they can match anything. They could not, yet kept my money and gave me something that wasnt even close. $95.00 down the drain and I left the gel at the FG shop. I was a bit moody that day. And that was the day my project went on complete hold, after it sailed across the street.

Just looking at samples online to try a find a pretty darn close place to start from. If not exact it can be tinted to match hopefully.
How's that look?

Figures. Proboat must have banned that color for being available to the public.Originally posted by JPriami View PostMy paint fell thru. They discontinued that color. How crazy.

No worries, your on the list. Welcome to the forums. Im about a week or a little more out as of right now.Originally posted by kmankat View Posttiqueman, I'd like one aswell. I have lost one and cracked one hatch already.
Thanks for the quick response via PM.
Also, sorry I took so long to respond, my internet provider was having problems with their equipment.
Are you looking for finished in white or un-finished raw epoxy?
