[C320-list] Surviving hurricane Irma

Warren, et al,

Years of sun, dirt, and waxes, take their toll on the original white surface.  I agree that it would be very tough to get a gel coat to match the current "aged white" on our boats.

I doubt any gel coat Catalina, or others, can supply will match closely enough that the difference won't be noticed. On-site color blending may be necessary.
