I purchased a boat with minor fire damage. The boat is polyflake apple red in color and there are a couple of areas where the gelcote is damaged into the polyflake. It appears that the red color is derived from the red polyflakes. I really need some help trying to match the flake and was wondering if anyone knows what the color is under the clear/flake layer of gelcote. It looks like it could be black. Also, what is tip will be needed to spray it on? I have a Devillbiss finishline sprayer with a 1.8 mm tip. Will that be big enough if I thin the gelcote with styrene? I know it is'nt going to be perfect, but want as close to oem as possible. Thanks in advance for your replies!!!
