Re: Mercury paint color codes, or what is the formula???
Hooty, this is a copy of the text in an e-mail I received from Robert Shapton (sells outboard decals) several months ago when I was researching what all I needed for my motor restoring job:<br /><br />"I use automotive paint codes. Usually PPG Concept for lower unit parts, and DuPont Chromabase and clearcoat for the cowls. If you would rather use spray bombs, you can contact Grubbs Marine
www.oldmercs.com. Otherwise I'll get those codes for you (their at the shop). The decals run $45 for the electric model, shipping is included.<br />Thanks,<br />Bob"<br /><br />But I guess now he doesn't want to let me have the codes he was talking about since being he won't respond to my e-mails. I don't kbow a lot about about mixing paint, but I know that you have to know what pigments to add and how much of each.
