Carver Paint Codes


I've had 3 different Carver boats scanned with a spectrophotometer, looking to match metal work paint. The 3 boats were
95', 96' 370's, and a 98' 405. Radar arches, hard top supports, Engine make up Air Vents, ect.

All three have come up with the same Paint Code over a period of 4 years: Mazda PT or VX.

The PPG equivalent is: 4927

I may even try some roller and tip with the project that I'm working on now. BUT, an automotive paint supply or really good auto parts store will mix you up a spray bomb can, if you'd like to try it. About $20-25, will get You a single stage Acrylic Urethane in a pretty well preforming aerosol can.

I also know that this paint color was used on a heck of a lot more boats and earlier and later years, then the ones mentioned. I just don't know all. Maybe some one else does. IIRC, Carver called it "Antique White"??

You can also buy some Self-Etching primer spray bomb on the same trip, if your down to bare metal. Plus as a bonus, you can usually get all the paint advice that you need, at the same place. That's a win.
