Trying to get the boat on water in the next 4 days, we need to repaint the lower unit. Does anyone have a color code I can reference for Polychromatic Grey? My Nason paint supplier needs numbers and last scans came back way off. This is a 1959 Starflight 50.

Note '59 shows Platinum Mist, we believe this is an early model finished in the grey.

Don't you have another part on the motor you can color match? Or if you are willing to go to another supplier, www.reprotint.com But I don't know about the 4 days requirement.

Thanks guys! I spent last night going through chip books at my friends shop, found one that comes close and sprayed it in the booth. This will get it for now, but have an idea of repainting it gold since the boat has gold accents and its the "Golden Jubilee" anniversary year. Scanning off the old lower unit failed, kept showing a heavy metallic, I miss the old auto body guys who custom mixed and carded before every spray.
