I am preparing our boat for sale, and whilst cleaning and detailing, have noticed tiny chips in both the blue and white gelcoat. The gelcoat is not damaged, just a few 'pinhead-sized' chips are visible.
Just curious as to whether anyone has found 'automotive style' paint codes that would suffice for tiny touchups?

Thanks.

I've found that Rustoleum Painters Touch 2X Ultra Cover Heirloom White, comes pretty damn close. Also, Rust-Oleum American Accents 2X Ultra Cover “Gloss Navy Blue”, is somewhat close. If you feather out the blue, it's harder to notice. Neither are a perfect match. The white comes closer than the blue in matching. But it's what I use. (I believe I used the white on my 2007 22, and I've used both colors on my 2009 25.) Colby

"Hatteras off white" is a very close match. Pettit, Ezy Poxy, Total Boat, Interlux Brightside, and Awlcraft, Grip etc all have this color in their lineup.
