I'm going to be repainting my aluminum boat exterior and interior (see link in my sig). I'd like to match the colors of my 1954 Mercury Mark 20 motor. From what I've seen Googling around, Dupli-Color DE1650 is a good match to the "Dull Aluminum" color, and Dupli-Color DE1644 is a good match to the "Mercury Green" color. It's just coincidence I guess that they are both Dupli-Color brand, and are both Engine Enamel with Ceramic on top of that. The only other good color matches I've seen suggested are from PPG, and I'm not ready to get into professional level painting. If properly applied, does anyone see a problem with using 'engine enamel with ceramic' spray paint on the hull of a boat? Says it's "Resistant to oil and other automotive fluids; will not blister, flake, crack or peel". It will be both above and below the waterline.
