John – seems you found a good match for the Seahorse Green, but to answer your original post on NY Marine paint I’d offer the following. I always used his aerosol spray paint:
- On the motors I used the NY Marine paint, his paint colors were always a perfect match to the factory original.
- There were a couple times I ordered an extra can or two from him from a separate batch for touch-up work or because I didn’t order quite enough to begin with. In every case, the additional paint was a perfect match to the original shipment
The only issue I had with his aerosol cans was on my ’54 Johnson Seahorse Green when I had 2 cans that leaked badly around the base of the spray nozzle resulting in a big mess of dripping paint running down the can and spilling all over the shop floor and of course a crappy paint job. I had the same problem with 1 can of ’56 Holiday Bronze. In both cases, Peter sent me replacement cans at no cost and they were a perfect match to the original order he had shipped to me.
Assuming the new guys who picked up Peter’s paint line are using the same distributor, it’s a very high quality paint.
