Hi Marty,

***Your Dauntless paint is the closest i have seen so far.

Enclosed is a good reference pic of a 1937 S&S Commuter. This is a perfect match that depicts Dauntless's color and water line.

Dauntless had a navy blue hull, white stripe just at or slightly above the waterline, (for our scale looks 1/8" ) red below the waterline. the cabin sides & windshields are white. Hull deck, cabin tops and bridgeshelter top is a low gloss grey. Also, we have concluded that the outer mouldings were blue as well.

If you look closely at Dauntless's paint scheme, you will notice that the grey paint comes down about 1/8" from the cabins where the mouldings would correctly start.

Hope this helps.

-Rich.
