Hi Gary, I watched this video a while ago about Color matching gel coat, it seems to be a good strategy for such a thing. Actually, This video is part of an 8 part series on gelcoat repair which I found all to be interesting (by BoatworksToday) You may want to check them out. https://youtu.be/yoURRmkD8MY I haven’t tried doing it myself yet but it’s on the agenda for repairs on my M17.

The codes would be of minimal help as time, age, heat, UV etc has changed the color of your boat. Color matching is tough, even on a boat only a few years old.

Does anyone know if there are color code numbers for the original gelcoats used on the Montgomerys? I have a 1976 M17 (hull # 095) that is a beautiful Red/Orange that I’m trying to match some touch-up paint.
