Gelcoat color (Europe)

[Willy-Kokken]

hi

To select the correct pre colored kit for gelcoat repairs I am looking for the original white color of my Glastron MX 175 from 2006. Myself and the boat are in The Netherlands where there are several kits available online.

Coloring in the EU is done with RAL codes, I am looking for the correct one for my boat used by the factory? I searched online and with regional dealers without success.

Any ideas where to get this?

Kind regards,
Willy

First, welcome aboard

second, gel fades faster than paint. even if you had the correct color, it would not match after 15 years.

your best bet is to custom mix a color if you are just doing minor touchup. keep in mind it will fade at a different rate as the rest of the hull.

or if you are spraying get enough to spray the whole area on the hull on both sides.
