What year Joe's are you doing? We will need to know because the yellow was different from year to year.

Thanks Doug/DPS Racing hulls

I am painting my sport 40 for this season, so the year isn't important right now. Just need to know purple now, I found the yellow.

Thanks Guys

HOK prefers a white or light base for the PBC-40 (page 13 of HOK tech/spec manual). PPG DP48LF white epoxy primer worked great for me.

Don is right in the tech manual from House of Kolors. But the way the PBC-40 was put down on the Joes is the way I was told by Jim. I was also at the shop were the Joe's was being repaired in Madison and this is the way the Purple was being applied. Not the right way, but sometimes things are tight and painting is one thing that costs.

Very true. I gave the spec reference since it's for a sport 40. I did do a test shoot with grey & white bases, you really can't see any noticeable difference. I'd bet the U-10 boys had gallons of grey already on hand since, like Doug said, this stuff ain't cheap. B)

Glad to help Chris. Just be sure to wear at the minimum a good dual cartridge repirator like the 3M R6211, about $30 at Lowes or Home Depot. An even better choice is the 3M 68P71 full face respirator (about $100 at H/D or Lowes) as your eyes can still absorb chemicals. As an example ever wonder why your eyes burn when using CA? That is the point of entry for the airborne gases CA gives off when it kicks.

House of Kolor #NE-501 Yellow can be a very hard color to cover. I have found if you start with a white base and then put down a standard yellow to achieve yellow base. Then put down your neon base to get neon color.
