Spectrum Color Spray Gel?

[kvduff]

Was wondering if anyone has used this product? I have used the paste gel coat repair in the past, it worked well and the color matched perfectly. I have somehow lost one of the clam shell vent covers on the starboard side of my 06-320. Hull sides are pewter color, along with the vent covers, the only replacements I can find are white. Spectrum has this color matched spray gel coat, and was thinking of trying this product on the replacement but before I drop the 75.00 I was wondering if anyone has tried this spray before?
i attached a picture of the spray can...

Yes, It works great. I used with a preval sprayer.

this product is premixed, it is already in an aerosol spray can, you have to insert some red cap an attach it to the bottom of the can, press it in and hold for a few seconds. I believe this part of the process introduces a catalyst , supposed to shake the can for two minutes afterwards and then spray the repair.

It seems like I recall that Sea Ray used several different gelcoats for pewter boats back when your boat was made. I suggest you do either of 2 things:

Call Sea Ray customer service and ask for the gelcoat number they used on your hull then the gelcoat by part number, or,

Remove a pewter part off the boat and take it to an auto paint store and have them match the color with a photo-match machine then spray the vent with Imron, PPG, Matrix, etc. catalized (2 part) urethane. The paint is easier to mix and spray than gelcoat and the color will match perfectly.

Oh wow. When I used it, a couple years ago, I had to mix. I would ensure you get the right color. Although given you are only doing a vent it will be less critical.

Yeah, I’ve only seen the type you have to mix, which is lot of extra work, not to mention the math. I’ll definitely try this product next time.
