Gelcoat Colours and Manufactures

Post by Tree »

I suspect this is one for RobS or DougSea - I've got a couple of dings and scratches in both top side and hull that I would like to have done - the Hull being green and the topside being beige/off white.

Does anyone know the colour codes for the gel and possibly the gel used so we can get some reasonable matches for repairs?

*EDIT*

Jade Green and Fighting Lady Yellow?

If so, just need the manufacturer to get the tint just right.

Cheers

I may just end up filling the damaged areas then getting the local car body shop to colour match a paint sample for me. Pretty sure the jade green colour is right, its the topsides that seem to be a pig to match!

Cheers for the link, I am sure it will come in handy!

Are the scratches very deep? A wet sanding can do wonders in bringing a gel coat surface back to life.
