Gel Coat Repair

[Apex]

Anyone have a good stock gel coat color match? I will be doing some minor fiberglass work , then cover with gel coat. The boat is tan, and previous attempts by the PO could be a better match. Thanks.

I ordered some for our O'day 34 from this place - they have many of the O'day colors, and will do a custom match if you send them a sample. The quart I got from them (while not cheap) was very nearly perfect even on a 30+ year old boat.

Thank you Sefuller, great find. How did you use it? Next year I start work on my deck. Saving the worse for last.

Thanks Sefuller, I looked at the website, and didn't see any online ordering. To the phone it is.......

I started out buying a Badger 350 airbrush with the largest tip I could find and it works for very small repairs, like dollar bill size or less in ideal temperatures. I used a small CO2 tank to drive it. For the larger areas of repair I ended up buying a cheap cup gun on Amazon with some inline filters from Harbor Freight - it works quite well especially considering the cost. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NOU92G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
