I want to restore my old hobie and paint in the original color or as close to it as I can while not spending lots of money. This is the color I'm looking for. If anyone knows what paint to use of any useful tips your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What color is your boat now? you could restore the old paint and save a lot, probably the best for the boat unless you spray it with another gel.
