Gel coat vendors??

[El Conquistador]

Hello all,

I tried the search feature, no luck, I dunno maybe my query was off? Anyway I have a 1978 Baja runabout, the transom had been repaired by the previous owner was made functional for a time but has weakened and now is being replaced/redone. I would love to find a source for the metal flake gel coat, I have searched online and asked some local boat dealers but keep hitting a dead end. I thought I would try a boating forum, anyone able to point me in a good direction please?

I'd look up FriscoBoater on youtube...specifically his Glastron rebuild from start to finish. He has a vid in there going over how he matched the glitter job on that boat using gel coat.

About 14 min in he goes over matching the existing glitter gel.

Thanks for th replies! I am seeking a supplier, a place to buy the flake not the how to restore/apply it. Having a tough time finding the colors of flake for this year of Baja.

the link I posted had a list and link of a supplier. you have to mix your own color

Got it! I missed it the first time thank you so much! This boat has a lot of sentimental value attached.
