View Full Version : Refinishing a hatch

I bought this extra hatch for the 22. It was pretty faded on most of the blue stripe. I hit it with some AquaBuff 1000, then 2000, and then Meguire's 56 polish. I bet I didn't spend half an hour buffing, and ten minutes waxing. Came out pretty good I think. I'll have to change the pinstripe to red. Here's my problem. There is one small chip, and a couple deep scratches in it. I just looked at the MiniCraft site that gcarter posted a while back, and they don't list a white for 1982. Does anyone know what paint code it might be?

Looks great Joe, shame you don't have a small chip to send to MiniCraft they are super at matching stuff.

Nice. Shoulda fixed the chips and scratches before the Maguire's though.

I posted a color # I had matched about two months ago. Check my threads. I'm in the keys having for or I'd just go look and see the #.
Well, do a search and give Mini Craft a call.

I wanted to see if the blue would buff out before I did anything. Like I said, I did't have half an hour in time invested.

I did read that post George, I didn't see a white listed for 1982. Was that number you posted for gel also good for paint?

The # I listed is the white for my Minx gel. I'm pretty sure it's the same for your 82 Classic. I've not painted any white parts. BTW, if you order some, all you probably need is the patch paste.

Cuda, they didn't have a color listed for my boat either, so I emailed them the info on my boat (color, year, hull #) and they replied with a match.
