That is Marine Blue from TCP Global. It is very close to the original color. It looks a little lighter in these pics than in real life.

I am sanding off all the orange peel and leaving the 1000 grit scratches in. I have done significant body work on this truck trying to straighten the panels but not take out every single ding.

It just feels a little funny to spend this amount of time and money to not have a perfect glossy paint job but on the other hand I think this effect fits this old Maine farm truck.

If worse comes to worse I can always further sand and buff or (kill me now) repaint.
