Default Lanier Mariner 40 Covering

Hey all! I'm doing a minor repair to my Mariner 40. Does any body know what type, and color number the orange is? I need to recover a small section of the orange. Mono-Coat, Ultra-Coat??????

Thx!!!

It's "China Cote" and a very cheap version at that. You will have to take a piece of it to your local hobby shop and check it against what is available here.

You could try calling Lanier to see if they have any available. (Tape the phone call, it will probably be fun to listen to.)

Ok, I'm sure its a cheep covering. Has any one done a repair, and what have you used for a matched color?

I've only had to repair the white sections so I haven't tried to match the orange. I used white ultracote to recover the elevator (movable part) after the covering peeled away in flight. The stock covering is pretty bad. I tried everything I could think of to remove a few wrinkles and at the end of the day, just ended up with more wrinkles. At some point I'll probably do a complete recover job ... maybe California dept. of forestry (CDF) water bomber colors?
