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.Comment

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?
