I picked up a Hurricane recently on Ebay. I have a broken shell I got in a parts lot a while back, but had the opportunity to get a new one. However, the one from ebay is a different color. Rather than the bright blue of the shell, it's a darker, blue-green color. The plastics are heavy and clean, so I don't think it's a knock-off (have never heard of a hurricane one, anyway). And the plastic under the decals is the exact same color, so I wouldn't think it was due to oxidation as I would expect the protected plastic to not show the same level of color change.
Anyone know if there were different colored Hurricanes or is it just aged plastic. Personally, I like the darker color, but just curious. Now I just have to fix the tabs... |

I have had several and have not noticed different colors as of yet. I will keep an eye out.

Sounds like Sun fading...I've had a couple of Hurricanes and that Blue plastic will Green up if left out in the sun...or a smokers home...or whatever else makes plastics yellow.
I'd be interested once you take it apart if the inside is the same color as the outside. |

Yeah, sounds like plastic oxidation... it'll happen through stickers too, I have a couple Sea Rays that discolored under their stickers. I've never seen any variations on Hurricane colors, including one I owned from Europe.

Thanks for the replies. Plan to open it next weekend and will see what the inside looks like. Also curious if the H2O2 treatment will lighten the color at all. Will see.
