I have a 66 mirrocraft 14' that I'm restoring and would like to know where I can obtain the turquoise paint for the hull to clean her up. I would like to match it as close as possible as the boat is in great shape and should not need a complete paintjob (just some touch up).

Respectfully

Re: Turquoise color for touch up on a 1966 Mirrocraft?

Just an update. I reached out to Mirrocraft and they emailed me the original brochure for the 1966 Mirrocraft. They recommended taking a paint sample or the brochure with picture to an automotive paint dealer and having them match the paint. That is what I'm going to do once my registration expires and I remove the decals.

I just wanted to add the I had a heck of a time removing the 40 year old decals and numbers on the boat the first time. The only way to remove old decals with ease is to use the 3M or similar eraser that attaches to a drill or grinder. Trust me I tried the everything with little to no success until I used the eraser. If you have hard decals don't waste your time get the eraser it works great (no damage to the paint).

I have the same color turquoise paint on my 1975 I suspect. I just signed up hoping to get a solution to finding paint also... I guess a color match job is the way to go.... but what kind of paint will work well for an application like this?

I'll keep an eye here too, as my 1962 needs some touch up as well. Not much though, considering her age.

I have an unused vintage Tempo spray paint can which is factory approved turquoise for Mirro-Craft.
It's the can on the right in the pic.
Any interest, please let me know
Thanks
