1988 seaswirl sable topside paint

[bzuchero]

I have a 1988 seaswirl sable. The manufacturer's recommended paint color in navy blue for the topside paint. I have been unable to find that color anywhere. Interlux brightside sell largo blue, ocean blue and sapphire blue. Is there somewhere to get navy blue or something close enough that it does not look drastically different?

Tow your boat over to a good quality paint shop and have them match it for you, with all the various computers they have now a days for paint matching, it should not be very difficult at all.

Or you could use try the DIY route an get a Quart of Rustoleum Royal Blue an a pint of Black. Start with 1/2 cup and add a tablespoon and see what you get. Keep adding till you get the shade you want. Keep the ratio and increase the volume to get the amount you need. If you add some hardener to the paint you'll have a High gloss very durable paint for your boat. Lots' of guys here on the forum have use this paint with excellent results.
