Hi All, I am looking for a white gel coat match on a 1991 Rinker V186 Hull ID RNK34622C191. I cannot seem to find the right matching color and a place to order. Thank You

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,...... Good luck with that,......

Even if you got it from the Oem, bein' new, it won't match the fade/ stain of the original 30 year old gel,....

Well first of all, welcome to iboats. We love having a new member. :welcome:

Sorry to say but unless you are willing to color match the color yourself, I seriously doubt you will find a factory match. Sun works on everything including gel coat over the years. So even if you did get the exact batch color, it probably wouldn't match. The only way I could see a perfect match is for you to mix a few white colors and allow them to cure to see how well they match. Other then that, I have nothing...

the sun will change the color of gel and paint after a year........ after 30 years, your about 30 shades off.
