I have a 1989 Revegnge 22' with some small nicks in the gelcoat. What is the best source to purchase the "Desert Tan" gelcoat for repair? Or is there a colour code for this gelcoat so I can get it from a local (Norway) supplier?

Regards
Norwegian

You should contact Specturm Color in Washington. I have had great luck with them. Minicraft....never heard of them...?

Specturm should be able to ship all the way over there.

If you can not source from either of these two outlets this is the best color code match I have found.

I used a color corrected light and the PANTONE (PMS) Color Matching System which is a color standard used by design professionals to ensure color matching for print and paint. It was dead nuts to MY gelcoat. Yours could be might be a little off because of many factors like mixing at the factory, where the boat was used, etc. etc...

the PMS Code is:
#7527

pantone.com

Some in Europe do not use Pantone but use a system called colorcurve or RAL. I do not have that code but I can pull my color curve books and get a match if you need that info.

Cheers,
Jeff
