Now I know better but I couldn’t get my anchor pulpit off. So I sanded it in place and started the refinishing process. In doing so I nicked the gelcoat with the sander. How or what do I use to clean up the area and fix it. It’s not big at all around a 1/4 inch long and not wider than a quarter or less

I use spectrum gel patch paste. Match to your hull color. Super easy and I’ve had great results.

Ok, how do I find my color. I know I’ve seen it posted before but never needed it

I can’t figure if I’m Oyster white or Artic

Will this spectrum gel patch paste work on dock bites? Does it matter how deep the bite is?

PL, I went there yesterday and it does help greatly. I’m still hopeful SeaRay can help with my color but I’m not sure there records will go back that far. I’m also going to call Spectrum and see if they can help.

Thank you all for the help. I will post some photos of before and after once I get it all done.

I had Oyster on my 87 268, with blue. It’s most definitely not white. It’s a light grey. Put an oyster boat next to white boat, you can’t confuse them.
