I'm not ready to tackle the whole inside of the boat, but would sure love to touch up multiple "Badges of Honour" the old girl has accumulated over the years. Can anyone direct me where I can start to match the original blue interior color for a touch up kit?

spectrumcolors.com They make a 2 oz patchkit that will almost perfectly match the original colors.

in order to mix small batches of the spectrum, i use one level teaspoon of the gell and two drops of the hardener. Seems to work quite well.

Thanks Smirk,
I fiddled with the address and found it. They don't seem to have the patch kit in blue, just a quart of the gelcoat. I've got some pretty good dings that need filling after 43 years ( the boat). Should I fill the divots then paint over?

They do have the blue for the interior, same color up till 72 I think. If the dings are really deep as in through the glass layer, they should definitely be patched first. If just surface with no structural issues you can gel over them. Lots of info on continuouswave.com on patching and touchup.
