I assume it is...M17 #38 from 1974. Faded and/or chalking topsides, but kind of a creamy white where it's not been sun-exposed. I'll keep this product in mind, and, I'm filling the likes of 1/4" bolt holes with epoxy/silica so really just need a 'paint' type topcoat. thanks, John On 6/2/19 10:55 AM, Dave Scobie wrote:

Is the gel coat the 'cream-ish' white like most of Jerry's boats? A close match is EVERCOAT Gel Coat Scratch Patch in 'buff' color.

What does anyone here use for "paint" on top of resin, when you've done some kind of small resin/filler repair topsides, and need to cover it?
Mainly to protect the resin from UV, and, cover whatever color the resin/filler spots are with something at least vaguely matching your topside gelcoat or paint?
For example holes filled when moving cleats, tracks, etc. or replacing them with ones that have different mounting hole locations.
Jerry recently wrote: "I've done a bazillian repair jobs over the years... For nearly everything, polyurethane auto paint is far better than gel coat. It's WAY more UV resistant and therefore stays shinier longer and doesn't fade as much as re-sprayed gel and is much easier to apply."
Anyone tried this for small stuff like I'm talking about? A can of polyurethane spray paint from local auto parts store?
There are usually so many different shades available, I could probably get close to matching my faded-white-ish aged gelcoat.
thanks, John
