Sig Primary Force Orange

[John Craig]

Sig no longer carries their Aerocote line of coverings.  The Primary Force was their Bright Orange, Sigstl321.  They recommended another distributor but they only show the Navel Orange (320).  Does anyone have a suggestion for a close match?  Is the ultracover Safety Orange the same?

I have a Sig Primary Force that I am refurbishing.  Changing the Fuse to white Rusteolum.  I am lazy & just wanted to patch the wings, leaving them orange with white trim.  I could strip it all off & have white wings & orange trim but that would be another week or two of work in the evenings.  This delays finishing other projects.  I have 3 other cookie cutter profiles that have been in progress for over a year.   I need to get with it & finish them.  The flying season is here!

John, Airborne Models has it I am pretty sure.  They call the brand ToughLon.  It is their Orange.
Here us the link to their website.

I was told by Becky at SIG that this was the color they used on the Primary Force ARF.

I guess the only sure fire way to know us to order a roll from them.

Hope thus helps.

Thank you Mike,
Becky at Sig also told me about Toughlon & airborn models.  They also have a last 3 digit numerical code for their product.  Their orange is 320 the the same as SIG's Navel Orange 320; not the Bright Orange 321 that SIG's instruction booklet says is the P Force color. 

I am cheap, not real fond of this particular plastic covering, & do not like orange.  Yes, I live in Forida but I am not a Gator! Hoping to  just buy one & get the right one.  If not white & the extra work will be the answer.

We will see how desperate I get.

I ended up stripping all the orange off in order to correct a warped wing. The stab was twisted too, had to be replaced. My PF now sports a silver Klass Kote fuselage and Pearl Teal Monokote flying surfaces.

Where in Florida are you?

Dad recovered the tail feathers of his and I think just used orange monokote.  Match looked pretty good to me.

   I recovered my entire airplane, as the covering was completely delaminating and letting go. if this airframe has any appreciable time on it, I would just bite the bullet and strip the whole wing for a recover, since you painted the fuselage anyway. Well worth the extra time, money and effort. Do a search on the forum here and find the thread where I described the process and using a heat gun to get the old oil out of the wood. Maybe just search my name. This was in the last year or two.
   Good luck and have fun!
