I'm back, and about to begin restoring a 1972 13 Sport w/ the blue interior. Does anyone know the name of the original BW blue? Or even better, the Pantone color number? I'm thinking 306C is close. Also, if Awgrip doesn't supply the correct color, where do you suggest I find it? Thanks

The name of the gel coat color is Blue. There were a few of them.

There is no Pantone color number as the colors were not precisely consistent over the years and age and sunlight take their toll anyway.

Pick out whatever you like.

Jamestown Distributors sells Awlgrip custom mixed to "Whaler Blue" in quarts. I don't know of any other brand of paint that has a color close enough to Whaler Blue to suit me.
