OMC Cobra - Paint Color?

[thetrub]

Hay you all. I have a 1988 OMC Cobra that I'm trying to find the original paint color. I'm going to re-paint the boat with Interlux Perfection 2-Part Polyurethane Hi Gloss Paint. I know the original color was some shade of blue. Does anyone know what would be the closest match to the original color? Thanks.

Blue OMC Cobra? Never saw one, all the ones I've seen were a dark grey almost black, but never have seen a brand new one maybe there is a hint of blue.

I think I did'nt specify my question right. I was talking about the boat paint color. It is a 1988 Bayliner Capri. That is what I intend to paint, not the outdrive. Sorry for the confusion.:redface:

Paint it black and put a mercruiser sticker on it. no just kidding that would be a dirty unlawful trick.
I like factory original looks too, Paint shops have the ability to get a computer generated color match from just a chip of paint. I was typing when you posted your correction
