I know from pros that using color patches never gives 100% results
Even using factory sea ray gelcoat it is almost imposible to have perfect finish (especialy blue color is a problem)

My patch is on a pearl colored hull, and after using some rubbing compound and polish with my buffer I got it to match almost perfectly. If you get real up close 3-4" away from it, you can see it. A-ok in my book! I'll always know its there, but I'll have to live with it. That or spend the $250 the dealer wants to repair it and that money can be better spent on gas!

That's good news.
If you can't see it, you'll forget about it. :thumbsup:
Next time you wouldn't hasitate to tackle a scratch.
I'm trying to decide if I want to try fixing a friends new 340DA that rested against a exposed bolt at a pier. The hull is pewter. The marina wants big $ to fix....
