I think the issue here is Mercury doesn't have it.

Mercury Racing Blue

Dupont code B8110A
General Motors code 20 1981, Bright Blue-Effect

To mix 48 oz Imron (2 qts):

531U LS BLACK 40.6
521U ALUM 100.3
565U RED 357.9
559U BLUE 731.2
572U CLEAR 1053.8
570U LO VOC BINDER 1381.9
8585S REDUCER 1409.0

Nice find, I'm stopping by the paint store after work and getting some put in a can so I can test it on a stick, might need to put a silver base under it if its to dark as a bud of mine suggested

Missed the point.
That is part of the original Factory paint code :)

I called Whipple Superchargers and they told me its a 2 stage powder coating process they put on the blowers, he did state Wiffle blue ( no type o ) as one powder but didn't have the other color, so I'm thinking the paint will need a silver base under the blue, maybe the paint store has a spectrometer lol

Here's an older thread with relevant information: https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...lue-paint.html

In particular it is mentioned that a white or silver basecoat is needed to prevent the paint from going on dark.

Looks like there are a few ways to skin this cat:

Duplicolor Metalcast with tips on application:

Silver Anodized Metalcast Ground Coat - MC100
Blue Anodized Metalcast - MC201

Gets pretty close.

I'm done searching! ;)
