Hi there, happy to have found this forum! I often browse but this is my first time posting. I have a 1981 Freedom 33 Cat Ketch. The side of the hull and masts are painted with a very particular blue color. I believe it is original to the boat. Is there anyone to contact that would have the archives of that information? Or do you all know someone that can test paint chips to see what it is? I have tried over a dozen paints and not one blends in.
Best option is to visit a car paint shop they may have a small portable spectro which can measure the colour of your boat
Otherwise go to a paint mixing DIY shop they should have several colour swatches
Just a guess- topside paint is awlgrip or similar. Deck and mast would be gelcoat. Consider asking advise from Paul Warren at Warren River Boatworks
