Yeah, it's a bit pricey ($100.00), but it's a solution and you have it for future use. They partnered with and kitted a quart of the gelcoat color with all the other materials and compounds necessary for using the product properly.

It needs to be at least the size of a quarter. First, if you have a piece of the old gel coat, you can send it to us and we can match it. You need more that just the can of gelcoat paint in order to use it on the boat surface like hardener and waxing/surfacing agents (I've never worked with gelcoat before, so this was all new to me).Д«ut here is what Spectrum did do for colors they don't sell in the more convenient 'Patch Paste Repair Kit' (the reason is because it has not been a popular enough selling color to offer it in the 'kit'). There are a few ways you can try to match your gel coat for a repair. Ive got a White 1983 CAL 35 which is in need of major gel coat repair but so far I dont know about matching the color. I called Spectrum Color and spoke with Sabrina (very nice and knowledgeable person!). Does anyone know of a gel coat company that has CAL in its database for a color match. Also, if you click on the 'SELECT' button, it brings you right to the correct page to order the product. You'll also notice the number '99-03' after the paint color name, that indicates the model years this color was used through. You'll notice the '7417' in the middle of their part number 'F50 7417Q'. For smaller repairs, you should consider a gelcoat repair kit (available in 1oz and 4 oz kits) that include a gelcoat paste and the tints for custom matching. Use the base color shown above and then add the corresponding gel coat tint (gel coat coloring agent).
