I am looking for a good match to paint the main cabin headliner. Any suggestions?

Because we don't use cushions down here I painted the plywood compartment tops to the bunks with Rustoleum Almond Gloss. Quart right off the shelf at the local hardware store ... Looks close enough and blends in.

up north i took a piece of the counter to a Benjamin Moore dealer and had a gallon of Metal@Wood Enamel mixed to match. which is going on the inside bulkhead/headliner where the gel coat patch was too far off.
But that isn't "exact" either ...

like all oil based ... takes a couple of weeks to cure.

As soon as the temp warms up, we're going to be doing some interior touch ups and repaint of areas under the berths, sink, etc. I haven't yet picked up any paint chips to compare but when I do, I'll certainly share what we choose. I'll probably just choose a basic marine enamel to roll and tip.

If I were doing (not now - maybe in the future) the interior ceiling, etc, I'd lean towards something like Brightside from Interlux. It's 1-part, dries hard, and cleans up easily which is great on exposed areas of the interior. Rolling with a foam roller & tipping with a brush works well - the paint flows out very well as long as it's not too cold. If it's too glossy, flattening agent can be used to soften to finish slightly. Probably worth doing a test on something first to see how a few variations work.

Hope that helps.

Jeff - just FYI when you do the ceiling you must really clean well with mold release solvent. I thought I did but there were still tons of mold wax and It was a bear to sand and finish. Even after 25 years.

I used Brightside from Interlux for the ceiling,
used a off-white, not as yellow as how it was but looks good now and holds up well....

I decided to go with Pettit Easypoxy with the satin additive to reduce gloss. Primed with 3M high build primer rolled on to give a little texture after grinding out the cracks and filling. The hardware was all removed to recore the deck around the seahood and more.
Off White is actually quite creamy or even butter. But it looks great and now the rest of the boat will need it.
