Does anyone know of a paint to match ultracote? I'm using True red on wing and tail and would like to paint the rest. Thanks John

Try taking a peice of the covering to your local paint store. I have used Ace Hardware to mix some point for me using the scrap of material I had.

Try red Rustolieum, bet it's pretty close.

Nelson can match it. It's a water base paint and is excellent. Give him a call. Great guy to visit with. Member of the AMA Hall of Fame. http://www.nelsonhobby.com/

You could look for some Hanger 9 Ultrakote paint (no longer in production), Radio South will give you an exact match Polyurethane or by from Nelson:

Despite their claims, Ultrakote paints are not even close to fuelproof!! Been there, checked it out myself. In additon, the color I chose, was not a near match for the flilm with the same name. Rip off grande!

I find that Lusterkote is very fuel-proof, but their color match in the one case where I needed it, was bogus. I can't say for the other colors.

Klass Kote can match Ultracote also.
