Polyester Gelcoat pigment

Post by Nigel »

Hi all,

I want to touch up a couple of small gelcoat chips on the Hit.

It is sort of olivy beigy mushroom colour which would give me a colour match problem except that my artist wife has offered to match the colour for me.

Do I need to buy some special stuff (loads of different tubes to get the colour match) to use as pigment or would acrylic paints work OK?

Yes, it works - but try a tiny bit first, just to be on the safe side...all acrilics might not be the same...
