My son Fede has been racing the Original Blackjack style Miss Geico,
that Jim Clark gave him a couple of years ago....Btw, Thx again Jim, he loves that boat.
After many, many heats of racing it is starting to show it's wear, so I decided it was time
to put it back into shape. I first filled in in and repaired all the dings and dents with CA glue.
Then I sanded the repairs down to a paint ready condition. I was able to finish the ride paint
with ordinary flat white Testors paint. Now the challenging part.....I have find a match or
at least something very close for the Geico Glow Green that Pro-boat used. We are here
reaching out to anyone if they have previously found a match or even a way to blend something close.
So far my attempts with a lime green and yellow Testors mixture all the samples that I
made in slightly different color blends are all a little too dark, maybe I need more experimenting
Please help if you know some kind of short-cut.
Thanks, Ken & Fede
