Crazy answer but what about going to an auto parts store.  Match up the color 
there with all their touch up tubes.

</div>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,
