FAQ
Common questions
Can you match older gelcoat colours?
We mix to match. Older hulls often need a custom mix because the original colour has shifted with sun.
Is gelcoat restoration worth the cost?
Usually yes if you are selling, and almost always yes if you are keeping the boat. It protects the hull, not just the look.
