Name that color...

[blueranger]

So I've been trying to find a color for my Mirage 24 that I like. I found a picture of another Mirage 24 with a color I really like. It's at the link below. Now the problem. I have no idea what this color is called or who makes it. For the sake of clarification I'm talking about the topside color.


Anybody want to hazard a guess? Here's the link:

TIA,

I'm only going to guess that it is awlgrip sky blue.

Color Card

If you ever intend to sell your boat, the further you venture from traditional mainstream colors, the fewer interested buyers you will have. It's the reason realtors suggest you paint your house in neutral colors. Everyone has different tastes, you want to appeal to as many as possible, or at least not be objectionable.

I looked at a boat this winter that had brand new awlgrip from last season. The owner satisfied their fancy, but we truly disliked the color. I was only going to buy her if the price allowed me to afford the $20k it would cost to repaint. Ultimately, I bought a boat with a traditional dark blue hull.

From Minnewasks color chart I would call it "teal". Regardless you can use that chart to choose your colour and it gives you a source to obtain the product.

It looks like Stars & Stripes Blue, an Awlgrip custom color...

Hi,

Thank you for the help! I thought it was a shade 2 or lighter that Stars & Stripes blue Maine Sail but I've never seen either in person. I'm just going by pictures on this site. EBS001, thank you for the help. Do you have a link to that site? A Google search didn't turn anything up.

As always I'm blown away by how helpful this board is. I didn't mean to storm onto the forum and start demanding help; hope it didn't come off that way. After a 2 year tornado life has settled down, I have a little money and can start restoring my derelict Mirage. I'll be asking for more help so please bear with me. Would it be appropriate to post pictures of the restoration process?

Thanks again. I'm on the hard for this year but still messin' with a boat. Life is good!
