Update, It took 3 batches to get the color very close. Now I have to grind out all the previous repairs and redo them. Buy the large tubes of tint, they are much easier to get uniform drops from. I save the cardboard I mix the hardner into the gelcoat on to check the color. Only do one repair until you get the color right. I have purchased a palm polisher from Harbor Freight to compound, polish & wax the top sides of the cuddy. I also am using an electric palm sander for the 500 & 800 grit wet/ dry paper. Yes, I have a GFI, but I'm using a hand spray bottle. I use the Mouse & triangle sanders dry, then wet sand by hand with 220 or 320 depending how thick I put the gelcoat on, I realy like the Evercoat gelcoat, it doesn't run. There were 3 holes in the last picture which was the 3rd batch of gelcoat. They need need a cover, (thin) coat, then final sanding using 500 wet/dry, then 800. Fololowed by the rubbing & polishing compounds, then wax.
