Old OMC Johnson/Evinrude paint color codes?

[series60]

I am looking for information regarding the original color codes OMC used on their mid 50-60's outboards. Anyone have any info or ideas as to how I can get close to color matching these old outboards? I have toyed with idea of chipping off a decent piece of paint from the motor and having it color matched at an automotive paint store!

I have seen other sites where folks have done paint and they look pretty good. I just can't seem to find these sites again.

Second choice is 'rattle-can'

Thanks,

Yes, I second that. nymarine has a nice selection of paint for the older motors and a lot of nice pics in their gallery of restored motors.
