Default Re: Tsunami floor restore

Rod, it looks like you have some good quality help there!

A lot of paint shops (and some ACE Hardware stores!) have scanners now attached to computers that can do a really good job of matching paint, so you could do like ET23 did and take a hatch cover or something with gel coat on it to a paint shop get the paint matched, and then send Tom a sample of that paint for him to match (or just send the sample direct to Tom!) Tom is local to me, so I took him a piece of fg I had cut out for a Phye access plate, and he matched it exactly! He called it "Denny White". The color below the bootstripe and on the sides of the steps on my boat is the Signature Finish paint he mixed up for me, but the rest of the hull is original gel coat, and most folks can't tell the difference! My '72 gel coat may be slightly different than yours, but if you mention this post, that formula might be a good starting point for him in matching your gel coat. Denny
