    Gel coat color

    Hi, I have a 1999 16 classic, red hull white deck, can anybody tell me what RAL numbers these colors may be please? I have some damage marks to the white gel on the deck, I'm in the U.K. so getting original color matched gel is difficult, or, if any one knows a company that supplies the correct "Donzi white" and will ship to the U.K. that would help, thanks.

    Try MiniCraft in Florida.

    GCarter swears by them and they matched my boat color perfectly.
    Why is faster never fast enough.

    Have contacted Minicraft and another company, Spectrum, re gelcoat, both very helpful, can supply the correct color, however, they don't ship to the U.K....... back to square one...

    Any good glass shop can match any color gel.
    Gel fades a lot over the years and it takes a pro to do a good match job.
    Just do some local shopping, particularly if you want to do less than a whole boat.

    Yes, I'll have to, trouble is , over here in the U.K. we don't have the same sort of specialist glass shops as you seem to have in the U.S. I've worked in the Marine industry for over 50yrs and not found a really good one yet for color match.

    It would seem with the number of glass boat constructors in GB, that with some diligence, someone working in one of those facilities could be found.
    Good luck.
    Mini Craft is about 15 miles from my house. I wouldn't mind purchasing the correct gel and
    ship it to you (if it's not too difficult).
    Also, if you visit the US, Mini Craft is only a little over an hour from Disney World.
