[C320-list] Nonskid gel coat

[wdoc1 at aol.com]

In 2021, I ordered year-specific gelcoat in pint-size containers from the Catalina factory in Florida...out of the can color match is not perfect with 23 years of sun bleaching the grey non-skid, but still pretty close; the hull color is a perfect match. 

See email below for contact info.

Thanks everyone.  I guess I'll try the tint method.  To bad there isn't a magic bullet out there!

Michael-
I mixed black tint gradually until a close grey match with white gel coat https://www.westmarine.com/evercoat-non-laminating-finish-gel-coat-P012953865.html and got a close (but not perfect) match.  I didn’t  add the hardener until I was satisfied with the color match.

I have a 2004 C-320 with the deck nonskid in light grey.  I’ve had good luck matching the white hull gel coat with the Patch Paste offered through Catalina direct but they don’t have a grey for the nonskid. I believe Spectrum color would do a match for me but if I recall correctly their minimum was like a $200 order.  Has anyone with a similar vintage boat found a color match source for doing repairs on the nonskid or come up with a recipe using color tints?

Thanks for the help, 

Michael Leschisin
