OMC Paint

[steamin53]

I need a source for OMC Gold paint as used in mid 70's Evinrude and Johnson motors. Anyone know of one?

Re: OMC Paint

Sorry to say really tough to find. Many of the rattle can companies have gotten away from the real older colors.

I checked the Tempo site http://www.tempoproducts.com w/no luck.

I would go to an automotive paint store and have them mix a color match in a two part or single stage urethane

I've found some on Ebay and many Johnnyrude dealers can order it for you.

I've had difficulties with some of the old N.O.S. (new old stock) OMC rattle cans. A lot of clogging issues and some "dead" cans. No pressure.

If you can find one, you can at least get the exact color and as stated, auto paint stores can match it for you. We have one here, locally, that will even put it in a rattle can for you!

Re: OMC Paint

The problem I've had with paint matching is, they have to take a picture of a 3"x3" area, and if all you have is the old faded paint to go by, that is what you'll get. Even if you can find a spot on the underside that's not faded, in my experience, the match is not exact. I've had good luck though with the paint they mixed and aerosolized for me. Worked as well as factory rattle cans.

OMC used to sell a gold aerosol spray paint under part number 771251, for engines 1973-1975. Any dealer can check that and see if it is still made and what the latest part number is.

Re: OMC Paint

Just an FYI, the gold paint was not the same between Johnsons & Evinrudes and also they differed over the years. Just for reference I am posting an exerpt from a 1974 OMC Accessories brochure I have had since 1974. Its too bad you can't just pop out to the local dealer and get it off the shelf any more.

Supercedes to 771249 in spray can.

I looked at the 1974 OMC chart attached to your post. I do not recognize the part number as OMC numbers. What are they? Thanks! Doug

Re: OMC Paint

Sorry I missed your post doug. Add a zero to the part number (that's for the obsolete part numbers pre-BRP). It is 0771249. Also here's a link I found to several current numbers for old OMC colors. http://www.duskyonline.com/0771249-p-engine-paint.html

(Hope I didn't break the rules by posting that link!)

Re: OMC Paint

Shoot, I would go to nymarine.ca and order the color you need. It may be 20 bucks a can, but it's a perfect match and guaranteed fresh.
