Jim:
When I started patching up the gelcoat on "Always", my first call was to IM.
They could not provide the color match for my boat. I was told that every boat
(with the hull color option) is somewhat custom in its color and that I'd have
better luck matching it myself. I bought the necessary gelcoat repair kit from
Boaters World and did it myself. Total cost was under $25.
It wasn't that hard to do it, but you definitely want a well ventilated area to
work in when you do it.
