    Tempo may offer something - likely in a rattle can, but you could have the color matched to a good automotive paint.

    Default Old part number

    The old part number for the paint from omc is 172794 can anyone cross this over to a new part number that is available?

    Default OEM paints

    Seaway used to have most of the colors if you want to drop $10 a can. In my opinion, the second who ever switched to the brand they have from Tempo, who I think went out of business, the paints went to crap. There was nothing like Tempo laquers. If you want to get better paint for less money for the volume you are buying hit an automotive paint store and start the process of matching. Use epoxy primer, and colorize it to a shade lighter or darker than your paint coat. Much better results painting like that.

    Default Paint matching

    Most automotive paint stores have a paint matching service Our Orilleys auto store has a spectograph they scan a sample and finds the nearest code had pretty good luck with just a min of tinting even scanning some pretty faded colors

    During the 70's I went to the local PPG auto paint store to get paint for a 1968 Evinrude and they just looked it up in their book and mixed it up. Try a PPG dealer and see.
