Matching the red hull color?

I'm looking for a little help trying to find a service that can match the old original red gelcoat hull color? I'd prefer using gelcoat/clear duratec to paint and I'd like to avoid $300+ paint systems just for the a bracket (if possible).

You can try Mahogony which is here by me, and I know they ship. They custom mixed a gal of blue for me and it ran around $65. If your interested I'll get you the number.

Let me know what you discover Big.....I just oreder a can of air dry red gelcoat to try out. My red hull has a lot of pin hole and I was thinking of trying to put a layer of gelcoat on it and ordered some to test the color.

This company might be able to help-not sure if the red is the same as the older red.

Yo BS, it's Mahogany Co of Mays Landing, the number is 609-625-8108.
The place is frigg'n huge, they must have a least five big building. They supply all the major boat builders around here like Viking, Ocean, Topaz, Egg Harbour, Silverton, Out Island, Cavileer, just to name a few. If Scott's around I'm sure he could add to the list. But anyway, yeah the place is cool!

Gold COast Distributors in Ft LAuderdale can match all your paint and gelcoat needs as well as custom colors. I purchase products there all the time and they are the best.
