Matching paint on fountain
#1
![Question](/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have a '91 Fountain 27 Fever. I have a few little spider cracks and scratches on the transom, and some wear spots on the hull from the forklift (boat was previously rack stored).
I want to find some gel coat that i can just brush on in some of the cracked/worn areas, primarily to prevent water intrusion, but also for cosemetic reasons. Some touchup paint if you will.
Where can i find some touchup gel coat to match my boat?
Thanks

dave, I'm no gel guy like some of the others here, but you wouldn't get a perfect match of gel from the factory if you had to. The reason is each batch is "close" to a standard color formulation that all batches are mixed by. However, side-by-side comparisons of any 2 batches will be different to some degree. Saying that, any white gel (can be tinted to match) would be better than nothing to keep the water out of the glass. You're smart to address this issue early to protect your investment. Anyone who does fiberglass work should have gel that they will sell you. G$

Thanks. I know it won't look perfect if i'm just brushing it on anyway, so "close" is good enough. There are a few fiberglass shops around that i can try.
