I'm repainting the blue centre stripe on an 86 Hornet 3, blue and honey...

anyone have the paint code for the blue???

What do you havein mind when you say "code"?
Doesn't it depend what brand of paint you're using?

Also remember that these boats were gelled and any color was based on gel coat, and not paint.
If I can find it, I posted the paint code for the navy blue used in the late '70's and '80's.
It was for BASF UNO-HD acrylic/polyurethane single stage very high density paint.

I thought the centre stripe was paint, not gel coat...

I'm trying to find any code, from any manufacturer. I can try to match to the gel coat on the sides if i have to, which is probably a better idea, since it has probably faded, so the stripe will match the sides...

The sides are in ok shape, the stripe is terrible, and not coming back, regardles of any polish or compound known to man......

What I did was to haul the boat down to the automotive paint store and they used an analyser to get the color. Then they gave me the code for their findings for their paint. It ends up being a custom color.
The boats were gel. Donzi only started painting over white gel in the last few years.
