I have a 1982 Outrage cuddy. Will the Awlgrip Desert Sand color match the existing color?
Thanks,
Richard

Richard,

It might be close but how close is close enough for you? Specturm Color sells gelcoat in the correct color "Desert Tan" which was OEM Whaler.

However, because of age and enivorment your OEM gel coat is not the same color as it was when it was new. Are you just painting the outside or the inside or the entire boat? Else you paint the entire boat the new and the old will never match anyway.

Hi Jeff,
I am painting the inside only. I may choose to roll and tip the paint and as I understand, that application will not work with Gelcoat.
Thanks,
Richard
