Hi All -
I have a feeling this topic has been covered, but I couldn't find anything by doing a search. Please forgive if you've answered this before.
My first crack at fiberglass repair (pun intended) went pretty well so far. I used a West System fiberglass boat repair kit - instructions were pretty straight forward.
Last instruction was "now paint your repair, or cover with gel coat." Paint seems easier, although it might be hard to carry the boat to the hardware store to match the color. How do you match color? should I try tintable gel coat instead?
Boat is a Catalina Capri 18. Repairs were smallish / medium / not too deep cracks.
