Blue paint color for Thompson logo.

I just pulled out my Pantone Matching System color book and matched the color on my boat.. The number that is the closest is... Pantone 306 ! That color is one shade lighter than straight Process Blue. Any good paint store will have this book...I am a printer that mixes ink everyday.... Ron P
