Gelcoat

Post by svsunshine »

Hi everyone,
We will be working on our aft exterior section of our hull which will require new gelcoat. We have a Freedom 30 1986. Wondering if anyone knows the exact color of the gelcoat or where i could find this out?

Thanks
SV Sunshine

I would HIGHLY recommend Awl Grip vs Gelcoat.

Ok thanks. Guess I don't need to worry to much about grinding it all away...
