Hi Ali,
I'm pretty sure you can have the color matched. Is your boat original
gelcoat or has it been painted? I believe gelcoat is a bit harder to
match. Eother way, even if you had the original color recipe, I'm sure
it has faded over the years and that recipe wouldn't quite match. I
believe that can match gelcoat now too but I'm not certain. There are
plenty of videos on line showing gelcoat repair techniques. Jamestown
distributors has some posted and some more amateur ones as well. I did
some gelcoat repairs on my old O'day 22. They came out ok but, no where
near perfect. I did get a lot of compliments on that boat's condition
though. I may just be overly critical of my own work.
I have yet to do any paint repairs.

Hi,
I have a few scratches on my boat and I wanted to use touch up paint
as it is unsightly right now. The boat is a maroon (dark red) C&C 30
1976. Does anyone know how I can find the original paint or the
closest match?
Thank you,
Ali
