Yes,   I got color strips from home depot, found a good match and took kiwis grip there.  They tinted for free.     Color match was excellent and holding up well after about 7 years.  Thinking of recoating this summer, but wearing very well.Bill Walker Evening StarCnC 36Pentwater, Mi   On

I have used Kiwi but not tinted it. I have heard/read that it is done easily at paint stores/big box stores etc. So I think it is pretty easy to do and match if you have a sample from your boat for them to use for the match. Charlie Nelson1995 C 36XL/kcbWater Phantom Sent from the all new AOL

Hi Adam Burnside Fiberglass loaned me the color cards to compare to my gelcoat, for best results you might want to ask them if they still do that.  I can tell you what my can of gelcoat is marked (or you could try some if you want, it isn't like I'll use it all...). I'm at AYC, where are you

Burnside Fiberglass color matched a can of gelcoat for a 35 C  a couple of weeks ago (cabin top) which was a very good match. He had to make several attempts before getting it just right, but he kept going until it was right. I was very happy with the match. Bill Bruce. Thanks
