Chips in cream gel coat

[IanC]

My Colvic Traveller 28 motor cruiser has got a light cream coloured gel-coat (not painted) and I want to do some fillling of little nicks and chips above the water-line. All the Gel-coat filler I have seen is WHITE - how can I make it cream.

Hi Ian,
I've dome the same job recently. I used the Blue Gee gelcoat repairs kits; and they do bottles of 'Tinter' which you add to darken the colour. Use the white gelcoat and put in small amounts of the cream-cloured tinter; try a small area first in case you get the wrong hue. It produces very acceptable results.

Go to this link, click on the "GRP" link and then scroll well down the page and you will find gell coat repair kits in a few colours, one of them is cream. About £15

Having had a creamy gelcoat Feeling 720, I know the challenge.

Coincidentally, the Island Packet Yachts were of the same color as our -faded- gelcoat of the hull. Maybe same for you ?

Else DIY as metntioned by others.
