How to add colour to a gel coat filler?

[Zagato]

I have bought some Teroson UP620 gel coat filler buy my boat is orange. Should I add an orange dye or orange model paint? Thanks

Use the correct pigment from a fibreglass materials supplier

Pigments - Polyester, Epoxy, Polyurethane

Excellent, thanks VicS...

I'd suggest using gel coat rather than filler, easier to work with, add some styrene to make it go off.

Colour matching is not easy. You may find you need several different pigments to get a good match with what is there. Mix a small amount without catalysing the gel coat, spread it on the hull and scrape off again. It will take a long time, especially with a strong colour like orange.
