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. _________________ Bob Austin
