I have a 2004 C&C 99 which has a vacuum bagged epoxy hull. The finish is a polyester gel coat. Here is a quote from Tim Jackett the designer from Tartan Yachts who built the boat “The gelcoat is NPG Isothalic, which is a polyester product.” So obviously it can be done with the proper preparation. The finish sill looks like new.

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 located?

Has anyone produced the colour charts for gelcoat repair? I replaced a number of stanchion bases and now have some holes to repair. (I have the epoxy etc just looking for the final topcoat to match the rest of the deck) Our decks are that slightly off-white light beige colour. I am in Nova Scotia so may try Burnside Fibreglass.
