      I looking myself. I just cut in front of my Brother in laws Impulse with my BJ 29. Not good! It looked like James Bond in one of his boat jumps.
      His pointy bugger came out unscaved. Mine has a quarter sized spot where the glass mat is exposed.
      I really don't want to change the color of the boat. Well ill re-glass the fabric for now and keep looking for some answers. If I find something good ill share.

        well if your going to repair your blackjack why don't you carry on and blueprint the hull it will make a huge difference if you do it right, the change the color you can buy the new decals from horizon hobbies and then you won't have the same as everyone else make it look personal

          Any good auto paint supply should be able to match it if you bring a sample for them.

            Find the brightest yellow possible, then add a couple of drops of blue, until you start to get that greenish look to it

              Other than trying an automotive paint supplier, look at fastkolor or something you can mix and spray. Find the brightest orange you can, add yellow to brighten if needed, add black to darken. Just find something close to start with.
              Bright red and bright yellow make bright orange too.... Just my thoughts

                When I went to get touch up paint for my Blackjack ,, they tried to scan it ,, but they can not read the color on fiberglass ,, they hand mixed it close but not prefect
