Color matching is the highest charge for fiberglass repair.  I scratched up the Stealth on some rocks and you wouldn't notice but I'm a bit of an aesthetic junkie...I may have color matched my yak with fingernail gel coat and made the scratches go away...stay tuned for a daylight test video...UV light, gel polish application after alcohol prep..it doesn't matter with blood in the hatch but I'm learning to take care of my new ride... :smt006

Nice Eddie.  Stoked to see it.  I waxed one with marine boat wax and it was so damned slick I could hardly carry it because I couldn’t grip it.  Might try a coat of that over the finish you applied and see it really pop!

There is a web site that had a lot of colormatch gelcoat. Let me find it. Spectrum? Sector?

I keep saying that if I had to do it again I would buy plain white to hide the scratches  :smt011

Mine isn’t even a year old yet, but the green and black really show scratches. I’ll have to check out what you did and maybe copy you.
