While she is out of the water I also intend to repair the scratches on her hull followed by a thorough polish and wax. None of the scratches are too bad but they are a bit of an eyesore and inspiration has come from many of the restoration projects on this site. Having used Plastic Padding gelcoat filler I'm confident about rubbing the filled areas down and polishing to a good finish but "bright white" does tend to stand out. Does anyone here have experience of tinting gelcoat filler for a better match? Force4 do a clear gel resin and hardened together with a set of three "whitish" coloration pigments and I'm considering using something like these for the work. Any comments would be gratefully received. [/quote]   Click here to attach a photo to your post   Check here to include your profile signature.
