I have a 1996 3700 Open with Cummins 6CTA's and the engines are painted blue. Not repainted. This is original. Apparently this was a special paint for Tiara. Some Cummins techs recognize it, but no one knows what it is. I don't want to repaint the engines but I do need to replace the exhaust elbows and probably the turbo and I would like to match the paint. At one point someone told me the color was called Federal Blue, but I don't recall if that was someone from Tiara or Cummins. Cummins does not currently have a Federal Blue. If they had one previously, I haven't found anyone who remembers it. An internet search on Federal Blue paint produces a huge spread of colors. Any help would be appreciated.
