I give up, Im not doing painted versions. If you want one, they are 1000 dollars.
I will have epoxy white hatches out, if theres interest in them, as soon as I lay up 7 BJ hatches and a boat hull. So probably a couple weeks. Ive completely lost interest in painting them. WAAAAAY to much money into getting one to match to what I would feel comfortable shipping to someone. I did one, came out perfect, did I second and I couldnt get it to match, $55.00 of paint later, I gave up and smashed the hatch.
In all honsty, Id love to sell some and make the money, but seriously, buy a new PB hatch, get it home, spend a couple hours and re-infoce it w/ epoxy resin and regular mat and or cloth and call it done. (If you want to keep the Geico green scheme) If you have to buy a whole qt of epoxy to do it, find one of your friends locally who uses it and use some of thiers as its going to cost you over 50 dollars just to get the resin and hardener material in the smallest quantities you can buy them. If you dont know someone, ship me your hatch and for a small fee I will lay it up. Or, like I said above, spend a little less money between 2 ways of shipping, the hatch and my cost to strengthen one, and get the epoxy white one and repaint your boat, or use the color I mentioned earlier, by itself and it will be close but not perfect.Comment

Has anyone tried either one on their MG? I attached pictures of both colors and one of a MG canopy. What do you think? The lime green appears to be close but not perfert. I am trying to find some of this paint locally, so I can see it first hand and put a dab on the edge of the canopy to see how close it really is. It might work for a minor touch up, but doubt it would work for a major repair.

I might end up repainting the whole thing eventually anyway. Nortavlag Bulc Comment

Ok, it looks like were are getting pretty close.
I just ordered can of the Tamiya PS-8 Polycarbonate Spray Light Green. It will be interesting to see if it will have the same neon affect.
As soon as the paint arrives, I will test it and post the results.
I sure hope this works.

The poly carb stuff may not lay down well. Nortavlag Bulc Comment

I agree. And chances are its flat in color. And Im not sure how clear is going to react over it?Comment

Don't know for sure, but the Tamiya paints, like others I've used, denotes the finish of the paint in the same mannor as other spray paint can suppliers, by way of the can's cap's appearance.
Satin is less shinny than gloss and flat appears flat, so I am hopeful this is a gloss
finish.
We'll know next week
