CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER FORUM ® .......A photo-intensive technical reference file and ongoing newsletter regarding the original fiberglass Chris-Craft Commander series. This is an independent not-for-profit and non-commercial web site, not affiliated with the Chris Craft Commander Club ~~ or ~~ Chris-Craft Corporation. Our mission here is to "have fun and share information" about the Commander series (and those associated fiberglass boats on the Chris-Craft family tree) for your individual personal use, and by doing so help promote the good name of Chris-Craft, and help preserve, restore, and appreciate Chris-Craft boats. The main reference feature is the ever expanding MASTER INDEX File which contains what we believe to be the world's largest collection of documentation photos and technical information on the Chris-Craft Commander line of boats, (like these original brochure scans, featuring the iconic first 38 Commander styled by Fred Hudson, and many of the great Dick Avery renditions that followed) , (a huge collection of Chris-Craft 427 tuning and specification information), and a few words about how to use the forum.

We extend to you a cordial "WELCOME ABOARD !" Come on in, make yourself at home, we are a friendly group of enthusiasts, and we also appreciate the classic Chris Craft Roamer, Corsair, and Lancer boats too , as they are all on the same family tree and share much in common !

Topside paint

May 13 2009 at 10:44 PM		David Kwartler  (no login)
I know the color match is wimbelton white for our CCC My question is can this be bought in a 1 part paint? Paul you said you had a can mixed did you get it from a body shop? IVE used the spray can and it worked fine but to paint the topside of a35ftr. it would take for ever plus about 200 cans. Please advise this wknd. is going to be perfect here in Fl. Regards David

Hi David,

This color is readily available from any auto body shop in a 1-part. I am sure you can get it in a 2-part as well if you wanted to.
I got a spray can at a local auto parts store, it was as perfect a match as I could have hoped for.
If you are going to do something more than spot work or touch-up, I'd look into a light colored primer too. Naturally, after many years of wax, the substrate would need to be properly prepped (dewaxed).

Regards,

Paul
