Orange O'Day Daysailer 2- gelcoat repair

[windsong2]

If anyone out there has repaired gelcoat of an orange o"Day Daysailer 2, I'd like to hear what product you used to match the original hull color. My newly acquired boat is not in bad shape, but does need some TLC !! Renewing the existing original hull has been great- but there are some deep scratches and a hull repair that would benefit from some color matching!! thanks! Having Main sail repaired at Haarstick sail loft, and eager to get this boat into the water before I have to hang it up for the Winter!

Color matching is often difficult. Ive used "color matched gells" from a number of companys as well as factory gells and most often they are only close at best. One of the better techs I know says he requests what pigments were used to get the color. This gives him a faster starting point in matching what is on the part.
