COLOR CODE60588 - Medium Gray (PPG 5706)Four-Winns Touch-Up Paint

The Look

The 2008 season for Four-Winns was defined by clean, sophisticated lines, and this particular gray acted as the anchor for that aesthetic. Whether it is found on the swim platform of a Vista, the accent stripes of a Horizon, or the matching trailer frame, the color provides a balanced, mid-tone presence. It is a practical shade that manages to look expensive without being flashy. Since your boat has likely spent over a decade near the water, this gray has probably held up better than the darker blues or blacks of the same era, as it handles sun exposure and salt spray with more grace.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. Unlike many modern automotive grays that rely on silver flakes, this color is all about pure pigment. The benefit here is simplicity; you do not have to worry about metallic particles "mottling" or looking darker from one angle and lighter from another. However, solid grays are honest. They show every bit of texture underneath, so your prep work in the garage or under the shade is what determines the final result. Because it lacks metallic depth, the match depends entirely on how much your original finish has faded from UV exposure over the years.

Best Practices

Finding your specific paint data on a Four-Winns can be a hunt, but you should first check the engine compartment or the underside of the helm for a manufacturer's sticker. If you are painting the trailer, look at the VIN plate on the tongue. Before you spray or dab Four-Winns Medium Gray (PPG 5706) (check for code 60588), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up the pigments. Test the color on the included card and hold it against the hull to check the match. When you start, keep the container moving to avoid puddles and maintain a steady spray distance. Let the drying time pass between layers to build a durable finish that stands up to the wake.
