Richard who does the gel coat matching at Fiberglass Coating, Inc. told me that he can do it but, I would have to leave the boat for at least two days. He was the same guy that matched the interior transom inclosure color for me a year ago but, at that time I gave him a hatch so, maybe he used a light box to do that? He advised me yesterday to use Harbor blue that they carry then use white and yellow oxide pigments for getting the right hue of dark blue. This morning I mixed some to try and match but, had to add a little black also. I think it turned out extremly close by my eye but, who knows, Im half fn blind anyway.
Oh, BTW,Miniwax was the first company I had tried to use and they were the ones that told me they didn't have the match for a 1984 year.
