1988 Valero YT Gel coat help

Post: # 24961Post Chief »

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find color matched gel coat for my 1988 Valero YT, but no luck at all. I tried Spectrum, girl there wanted me to chip a piece of existing gel coat off to send it in to them!!! SERIOUSLY!!!? So any help out there is appreciated. I know I can have paint matched, but thats not the route I'd prefer to take. I'm in a small town with no close by boat shops. Its an off-white color im trying to match. Thanks, Jim

You have any pictures of it? Are you trying to re-gel the entire boat or just part of it? If it's not a nice bright white, then it's probably faded but they had like a cream color as well. The out real way to color match it unfortunately is to take it to a shop or send someone a sample. I don't think hydrostream really had a color code kinda thing. Just color scheme names. Like white with black, elite (blue with silver flake), etc... No real color codes.
