We use clear gelcoat and add a pigment, if it is a small repair the colour match should be ok but anything other than tiny needs a great deal of care.

Channel Ribs is correct, you need to get hold of the right pigment and then mix it with the clear gel. This company normally stocks most of the pigments needed Blue Gee

Failing that you may have the fun of colour matching!

Err no please don't as would be good to get hold of some for any future scrapes caused by throttle happy students.
I managed to blag a small amount off the local boat yard .
Fairline blue is the colour of the Gel Coat which is too dark but Oxford Blue lightens it to the colour of Princess Blue .
Cheers Kitten I was going to PM you this AM but saw your reply.
Cheers
Tim
