I need to touch up the inside of my 1981 Hunter 25. It looks like the gelcoat is the same both inside and outside. It is an off white color with a gloss finish. Just wondering if someone has found a close match for this vintage hunter gelcoat? my gelcoat inside has held up well except where someone hit the ceiling near the entrance. Thanks for any help.:dance:

Here is an article with some tips: http://www.boatus.com/boattech/casey/02.htm .
Then some product: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=2078 . Buy the white and then practice with a coloring agent. Interior gelcoat is generally much easier to match because you don't have the oxidation.

If you are really concerned with color matching, I suggest that you hire a pro. This is probably the most difficult part of gelcoat repair. If you can find a local guy, I doubt you have and hour or two of work if your surface is properly preped.
If the patch is not crucial then try it yourself.

Since it is gelcoat I plan to clean and polish the area first to see what that does. Thanks for all the replies!
