New to Forum: Paint Code Question

[cebra]

I hope I am in the correct area, I bought my first boat which is a 1989 Bass Tracker Tournament V17. I have a lot of mechanical knowledge and frame off restored my 1971 C10 but this is my first boat and boat restoration project. Anyways, I have scoured the internet and I am trying to find the paint code for the green/blue color on the sides of this boat. Does anyone have an idea where I could find this? I am working on the inside first and want to paint the 3-4" of green/blue around the top of the inside before I reinstall the decks/carpet.

I doubt you'll find it online. I would give Tracker Marine a call. I redid my 89' Pro17 a few years back and called them for a wiring diagram. They were VERY responsive and sent one within minutes. I recently suggested another member do the same thing a few weeks ago and he had similar success. They appear to be very willing to help on our old boats.

Good luck!

You could take the boat to an auto body shop and have them "camera" the colour for a mixing formula/paint code

When I search tracker marine online I only come up with tracker dealers or independent places that sell some tracker parts. I tried to go the dealer route and went to the "service" area at tracker inside BassPro. They were about as helpful as folks at most auto parts stores, they wanted a part number for the paint. Is there a manufacturer service/parts contact I am overlooking? I want to inquire about decals and a couple other items I am having a hard time finding as well.

Seriously, take your boat to a autobody repair shop. They should have a "camera" that reads the paint formula. I work at RM Auto Restorations and using a "camera" to get a paint mixing formula is the only way that we have to get the original paint colour. It takes about five minutes and we have the paint mixing formula for a 70 year old car.
