Hello
New to the forum.
I am in process of restoring, for use, a 1947 Old Town Otca wood / canvas canoe. The canvas is stretched and tacked in place. A friend with experience helped, with this part turning out very well. After the next steps of scorching the canvas fuzz and then filling the canvas, I will be ready to prime and paint.
The original color was a dark green, which as a young boy I changed. The last color before pulling the canvas was a "burnt orange". It was a supplied Old Town color in the late 60's. I wish to do the same color but it is no longer available from Old Town.
So my question, is there a burnt orange canoe enamel available today? If so, where? I had thought about buying white canoe enamel from Old Town and then taking it to a paint store to have it colored. I would hope to find a quality enamel at a more affordable price than O.T.
