Alternative color to holiday orange?

[jbjennings]

Anybody know an allternative automotive color or color code to OMC holiday orange? How 'bout one for the evinrude blue from the '50's. I don't have to have original but would like for it to be close without having to buy the high dollar original.
Thanks,
JBJ

I do not but any decent auto paint store can match any color.

I don't have anything original for them to hook to the 'puter. I guess I need to spring for a can of holiday orange and have them match the new color.
I was hoping (being a penny-pincher) someone had already tried my plan and knew a color code or name of a color.
Thanks,
JBJ

There is a few cans of the old Evinrude blue on e-bay.

You must watch auto paint for the metal content in the paint, dont want electrolis under the paint.

Are you painting a '56 to '58 Johnson? If so, there are some very close OTC paint cans I've seen. Painting it Evinrude blue wouldn't look right at all...

It was also slightly different every year. Holiday Bronze for 1956 was unique to that year as was 1957 and 1958 to their respective years.
