Correct Top Frame Color?

[Johnny]

I have to paint my top frame bows on my BN7. Looking at an excerpt from a AHCA chapter newsletter which quoted from "Concours Corner,"
"Top frames were painted light grey. Derusto pearl grey #1617 is a close match."
I've tried to locate Derusto paints to no avail. Does anyone know of a source for this spray paint? Or perhaps you know of a different paint that is similar.
Thank You for your efforts.

Check out Krylon Pearl Gray #1617.

I just checked with Krylon - #1617 is discontinued. Sorry,

johnny: this url does't work: use goggle search engine: i got at least 5 hits for the name and color. if that doesn't work take a paint chip and have it matched at home depost et al.

Thanks Richard. I was able to go to the seattle marine supply website. However, I couldn't locate the right paint. Besides, they don't appear to be the kind of store to order a couple cans of spray paint from. More like a gallon or two of marine paint for sailing around the world. Don't think my Healey will float.

I might try to buy Krylon paint in a light grey. I know they have 3 grey paints at Walmart. I'll keep you posted.

I beleive I found the correct color.

It's Krylon Smoke Gray Gloss #1608. Can be purchased at your local Walmart.
