So I want to patch a couple small chips in the gelcoat of this 1998 22' cruiser.

WHere is best place to try to get gelcoat that matches my color?

I am in Northern California, if that helps.
 
I use a small tube from West Marine. They have a few different brands of white. The brighter white seems to work better on my boat. Colby
 
I used the Spectrum Color kit last summer. On application the color looked too light, but after drying it seems to be a great match. The kit was easy to use, even when I mixed only a small quantity.

I checked spectrum's site, I think my color would be the 98 Ivory, but it appears to only come in 1 gallon.

The C Dory white is 00-10 is what most folks use. It is on page #4.

I had heard a year or so ago, the Spectrum was not stocking any less than a quart--the the current web site does show the patch kit in C Dory White.

I mix my own, Not easy to get right. It has a touch of yellow, brown and black pigment. Don't use too much! Try tooth pick end with a "glob" to start with. Mix the gel coat first, before catalyst.
 
I bought gelcoat from Gelcoat Products (958 N. 127th Street, Seattle, WA 206-781-1162) and it matched my 2002 perfectly (I had it shipped to me though).

My order consisted of the following:

9434 QT Sea Dory[sic] White CCP
9305 PT Sea Dory[sic] Tailgate Blue

When I called them I had these color codes on hand (my boat has the typical cream-colored white and the blue stripes).

Tailgate Blue: Cook Composites # 953-LJ-110
Cdory White Gelcoat: CCP # DX 963-WK-506

I also ordered the hardener, etc.

If you have stripes of another color, here is a list I have saved (but I've only tried the blue of course):

Forest Green: Cook Composites # 953-GJ-081
Cabarnet: Cook Composites # 953-MA-206 [Cabernet/maroon]
Roberts Gray: CCP # 963-AK-212
Black: CCP # 944-B-096
Red CCP # 953RA076
Cdory White Enamel: CCP # DX 948-WA-441 [Not sure what this is]
