Rinker V153 boat color

[rkinross]

I have a 1983 Rinker V153 that I purchased last year. I have been having trouble finding a Spectrum patch paste that matches the boat. It is a pastel blue gel coat but I can not find an old brochure that indicates the color. If anyone has a old brochure for 1983 Rinkers I would like to know what they called the color.

The problem matching paint on older boats, and cars, is that the old paint has most likely faded to the point it won't match. I have had success matching old paint by having a body shop use their computers to formulate the nearly exact colour. My wife needed her hood, driver and rear passenger door painted due to stone chips from a truck spilling some material onto it. 2013 Santorini Pearl Blue metal flake. You can not tell what was original and what was recently painted.
