Dear friends,

I'm preparing to refinish the paint on my swan's pedestal.
I'm writingto ask for information or advise on the color code to use.

Dear Giuseppe,

you have a "Colour" document on "Technical Papers" (https://www.classicswan.org/upload/technical_papers/2020_09_23_08_12_58-colours.pdf), anyway:

Gelcoat colour is Reichhold 2000

Awlgrip (polyurethane paint) colour: 50/50 mix of Off White and SnowWhite (even if it is not really advisable to have a custom color as it will be difficult to be restored in the future, so better to go to Off White)

Fair winds,

To say you're a resource is too little.

Hi Guiseppe,

We had the pedastal powder coated first and then paitlnted when we refitted Kairos in 2021. So far this worked a treat and is still looking great.
