Gelcoat source?

[Brian S]

I've contacted Spectrum Color and Gelcoat Products to get color matched gelcoat for my 192.

Both places say it will cost over $200, and that's for a gallon of gelcoat. Gelcoat Products still has color codes for the original creme and grey of non-skid, but Spectrum Color does not. And, of course, they could custom match with chips, but I don't have chips I could send them to match.

Regardless of exact color matching, I don't want or need a whole gallon of gel coat, when all I really need is a pint or so for fixing chips and cracks.

Does anyone have suggestions? I'm hesitant to try and match the colors on my own, and my experience with Evercoat Scratch Patch has been far less than satisfactory...

Thanks,
Brian

Rudy at D&R has gel coat, just remember that even that might not match exact since your boat has faded since new (even if faithfully cleaned and waxed each season).

Y'know, I didn't even think to check with Rudy, maybe because I never saw it on the website.

In any case, I'll be fine with it, even if it's not an exact match - I mean, a non-perfect creme or grey match will be closer than filling with white Marine Tex!
