[C320-list] gelcoat repair and paint matching

[kskis at aol.com]

Louis:  I purchased gelcoat from Catalina (only sold in quarts).  However, it didn't quite match.  My repair yard explained that "aged" gelcoat will always discolor and not match perfectly the "new" repair.  The yard recommended using paint instead that can be matched easier than gelcoat.  I had the yard do it and the results were amazing.  They did about 10 spots and most I can't even locate the repair.  Of course not cheap-about $100-$200 per spot.

Finally repairing small topside ‘dings’ and gouges. Is there a specific paint that can be used to match the 1995 model year? 
Thanks,
