  1. Try calling a few boat repair shops to see who their suppliers are.


  2. well  ,,,gel coat is nothing like paint ,,it is kinda like fiberglass resin with pigment added (.colors )first you need to get the actual color up ,gel fades and fade changes color .so sand your repair area with fine grit paper and remove the fade .once you get to the actual color you can begin the tinting of the gel ..you will need a variation of tints to achieve this ,which you can purchase from one of a few suppliers in Florida called mini craft , they also have videos you can purchase to help you along ..once you have all the correct materials you do a trial an error adjustment of adding colors to make it match ..this is not a easy task ..so good luck and  be patient,,,,the videos will help you to know which  color does what ,,and in this instance a color wheel will help you ...

  3. Go to Colorwheel or similar place that sells boat paint and get samples.

    You wont get it exact due to fading... it does NOT work like LOWES color matching.
