About 5 years ago, I had folks in a local boat yard repaint the cover on my BF 225 using the Honda matched spray paint. It looked good at first, but then started fading out. Found out they did not clearcoat it adequately, if at all. Finally purchased an old beat up used cover off of eBay and had a real professional do the original cover using Color Rite Honda oyster silver paint, code NH282. Primed, painted, with three layers of topcoat applied over paint. New decals. It looks great and is staying in really good shape. I was so pleased with the work, that when I got the original back, I contracted with the same pros to do the substitute, too. I've had that one for sale on eBay to try to cover my costs.
