Can anyone tell me difference between 2 codes for Evinrude Blue?

Been searching, and researching. I've got several cross ref charts, and the PPG codes. Seems BRP pn 777175 is the predominant listing for my 1993. It shows 1992-2005 apparantly

However I also see 777174, which looks similar and listed as 1989-1993.

Not sure what to make of these pn's relating to my year.

FYI, The PPG codes 18319 show for Lower Unit, and 18320 2 part base/clear for the cover.

I"m not really sure what is my match...sort of confusing. Really want to use BRP paint.

A listed PPG number will give you a matching color from various manufacturers. The number represents a formula. (PPG is a manufacturer with a number of others under their umbrella — Benjamin Moore, for example.) Evinrude apparently used a two-stage blue on the ’93 upper and lower engine covers (PPG 18320), and a single-stage (18319) on the leg and gearcase. Personally, I would go with a single stage for both, as clear coating can be tricky. Anyway, a good single stage urethane will really pop.

The Evinrude blue spray can would be pn 211699 (single stage, presumably), but you can get spray cans mixed using the PPG code. I have it done at the local Carquest store for both car and outboard detailing.
