Will do Harold.

Whitey. Going by the Hanger 9 website and what Tom at Wild Hare told me, near as I can figure, it is Ultacote Orange and Midnight Blue.

Close enough for Rock n Roll.

Either way, it will look better than it does now.

I will call John and see if he has the spray bombs.

I thinks I may have a can of the blue, and your welcome to it.
I'll check and call you today.

Hey Joe. Glass work is done on the cowl. Bondo is on and mount ring is repaired. Just need to sand and prime. Any luck on the blue and orange paint? Attached a few photos to show progress.

Hey Mike. Looks great! Thanks. I will hopefully be up and around tomorrow. I will head down to John's and see what paint he has. Hoping I will not need to special order it. Down with what appears to be vertigo, hoping the symptoms will subside by tomorrow.  Sad

Sounds like the cowl is pretty much ready for paint. On the way to John's today to order some paint and covering. Wish me luck on the blue. Tom at Wild Hare did not know what blue it was...make a guess Wink

You'll find something that works. Let me know when you're over there and if you wanna grab lunch or something. Glad you're feeling better (I'm assuming you are)

Have no scrap covering. I have done the match as close as possible online, on the Ultracote site. John and I are on it. Wink

Tempted to leave the cowl as is, then I will not worry about scraping it. More fun flying when you don't give a crap!!  Cheesy

I wouldn't leave the cowl as is, as I have wet sanded most of the paint off it and if you leave it, it will look like my first car.....a 74 Dodge Duster. I may have some white and I may have some primer. I'll donate them to the cause. Al said he might have some blue.

actually, Whitey shattered all my preconceived notions..... not only are there logo samples to vote on, BUT there is also a repaired cowl to flaunt....all in less than 7 years....

AND a Dodge Dusty.. Tongue
