What started as a little work on the boat trailer (68 caukins) has turned into a more thorough project. I have an 17' 1984' Bass Tracker aluminum v hull with an Evinrude Lark 50 that I purchased last fall. Everything worked when I bought and my son and I took it out for a spin in november and parked it for the winter. We new this would be a project purchase for the two of to spend some time together on.
About a month ago we decided to add support to the old trailer where rust had taken it's toll. We also decided it would be best to pull the boat off the trailer so we could clean it up, weld our supports and redo the wiring. we jacked up the boat and suspended it with tow straps from the beams in the shop. We completed our trailer work and new we weren't done. This boat had spent some time in the salt and the bottom needed a good cleaning. So, we reomoved the motor, console, all compartments, Flipped the boat over, cleaned the bottom and sides, then decided to repaint. My son wanted to add camo to the sides, so we applied the decals we got from Camoclad.
As one thing leads to another, my son wants to repaint the motor cover. He has the cover all cleaned up and ready for paint, but I can't find the original color paints anywhere. Does anyone know where I could go or contact for this paint?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, we're very pleased with the results! 
My son applied the camo to the console today and we might do the cover, but my first choice and his is to try and find some paint first. We'll have it back together and press'in waters soon, swede! We thought we;d do the outside of the boat this year and redo the interior next. Camo carpet?
I bet there's plenty of stories coming out of that camo tub of yours.
