matching gel coat c2000 white
« on: May 02 2015, 19:38 »
I need to do some gel coat repairs on my ocean 47 2000. The boat has been in the Med for some time and as I am in turkey can't consult clipper marine. Only choice here is standard white gel repair tube. Any advice on how tomake a colour match much apprciated

The original gelcoat will have changed colour over time, so matching precisely will be tricky.  There are lots of gelcoat repair guys around who have the skilful knack of mixing gelcoat to match existing colours.  Ask around at marinas.

I found the standard Plastic Padding white gel coat filler a good match for my 2001 boat which spent the first 10 years of its life in the Med. Used it in visible places like the cockpit as well as for the inevitable nicks on the bow.
