Deck Paint Color??

[Scott]

A month or so ago I came across a discussion about a particular paint brand and color that matches the Parker off white. I believe the color was sand, but I can't for the life of me find the discussion thread again. Does anyone know the brand / color?
On another note, I had the timing belt replaced on my Yamaha 04 150 four stroke; thanks for all the input; this is the first four stroke I have owned. I found a mobile marine service technician that is Yamaha trained. He had many local references ( Chesapeake area ) very reasonably priced. Paid substantially less then the dealer had quoted for the same work. Hitech Marine is the company name.
Thanks! Scott

West Marine 1-part polyurethane in 'sand' color is darn close. If wanted, you could lighten it a tad w/ a white of the same brand.

Thank you Dale!!

FWIW I had also used System3 '2-part' linear polyurethane (LPU) paint, akin to Awlgrip, and tinted their beige w/ white and matched the gelcoat coat pretty well.

If doing a deck, I would use a 2-part paint preferred (but not S3) as it will hold up better. You will need to repaint any 1-part paint every 3-4 seasons.

IMHO If you are going to paint your entire deck I would suggest a different, complementary color in a two-part paint. it looks better to use a different color entirely than to have a "close but no cigar" color match. Use a buff color, or a pale green, gray, blue, etc. or any color that might look good with your canvas or cushions. Also they don't show dirt like off-white does.
