Anyone find a matching paint - preferably spray - for the Hobie PA Olive color? Wanting to color match a few things and every color I try seems to be off. Apparently, olive as a color is pretty subjective. (Okay, all colors are subjective.)

I was surprised the first time I seen an olive one in person on how green it was. All the pics and vids I seen online make it look more of a tan. I'm waiting for the 2017's to come out, but I almost took their olive one when I seen it. Imma wait for the dune though.

Ive had pretty good luck with krylon plastic spray paint sticking to my hull. The active ingrediant is heptane which melts PE (heptane is the main ingrediant in rubber cement solvent).
Clean the hull good with denatured alcohol or heptane if you can get it, then put a real thin coat of the krylon plastic paint, I always use the clear coat which has uv protection added.
Once you have the base on, then you can paint over the top of the clear coat with any kind of spray paint you can find thats the right color. Makes the paint stick better.
I also like to use clear silicone in various things on my boat, if you clear coat the area first, the silicone calk sticks really well, but still removable (but you have to work at it (lol)).
I also figured out with vinyl stick on numbers and letters, if you do a clear coat over the area before applying the letters, they stick to the plastic longer, and once the letters are in place over spray over the letters with a thick clear coat to seal the edges of the adhesive. Works great
Hope this helps
