Mercury blue paint
 

I found some old threads on this, seeing if there is something new on the market ?? is this still available

Mercury Racing 92-8228251 Paint Bright Blue Metallic

It is also a GM color - 1981 bright blue, gm code 20, GM B8110A

Does this need to be mixed ? Im looking for some in a spray can, google search takes me to OSO

I read somewhere that Chrysler PB3 was close.

Intense Blue - Duplicolor BCC0422

I bought a couple cans. A test spray on some cardboard was really close to matching the color on my valve covers.

Could be worth a shot.

$36 per can.

WA9544 - GM Quasar Blue (Code 80) may also be close.

thanks for the help guys

Yes it does need to be mixed, but you should be able to find it in duplicolor with a paint code.

Did they keep your money, seems to be a trend in the marine world....:faint2:..thanks Chris

Cool...did he give you 1981 GM code 20 ?

I believe this information has been floating around on OSO as well as elsewhere. Perhaps someone can make up something similar for an aerosol?

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

Let's make it a 'Sticky', What you say mod(s) ? :)

You forgot code:
$$$Merc$$$: For Merc Blue Upcharge. :lolhit:

Another OSO member mentioned in posting on this subject that Dodge Viper GTS Blue (paint code PBE) was pretty much a match. A spray bomb version is probably available through the Viper Store.

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

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! ;)

Thanks for the info Tom, I owe you a beer.......:ernaehrung004:

Glad I could help!

Which route did you end up going? Good match?

Ive not done any of it yet,

I have used a combo of bomb cans and had an exact match, the problem is that off the shelf paint does not hold up at all. I dissolves if any fuel or chemical that gets on it and chips easy. Anything that will hold up would be from an automotive paint store and they put it in a bomb can.
