Crusader blue paint
I just painted my new elbows, risers and water pumps with a can of paint I purchased 2 years ago. It looks more like ford blue than my original crusader blue and I am pretty sure this topic was just discussed and somebody gave a part # for the proper color but I could not find that post, my paint was Moeller #25491 and this color is two dark. My wife said color does not matter as I was complaining on sunday so I responded with lets put orange carpet in the dinning room now I am out of browny points again.

Yeah? And I suppose that when there is a row of screws that the driver slots don't need to be lined-up either!My wife said color does not matter

Re: Crusader blue paint
Not being able to believe the price, and needing some myself, I looked at 8 or 10 other places after I first posted. Most were ~$23 per can! Then I found this place with a slightly lower price than in my first response:

Re: Crusader blue paint
This might be what your talking about Mike. "unchained" posted it for me.
"Hey Todd, Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. The work you and your wife have done on your boat is incredible. I use Dupli-Color Ceramic Engine Enamel. Gray primer color DE1612, "Old" Ford Blue (Dark) DE1621 and Ford Blue (Light/Crusader color) DE1601. I have had great results with using just the paint by itself or with the primer. You have to apply whatever method you choose within 1 hour, leaving 10 minutes between coats. A light coat of primer, followed by two coats of paint seems to work very well. The Ford Blue is close to Crusader Blue and costs 1/3 of the price. I know I'll get some feedback on that comment, but then again, I wasn't going for an original stock look....as you can see."

Re: Crusader blue paint
Option #2......Tell Kathy she can stay home and babysit instead of coming down here and listening to you complain! If you do take this approach tell her Aaron told you to say it!Mike Kulp wrote:........... now I am out of browny points again.
