Gelcoat repair

Where can i buy a gelcoat repair kit with pigments for repairing small chips in an off white hull.
Is there such a product about?
Am i wasting my time trying to match the colour on a 15 year old boat!
Any ideas thanks.

You can buy repair kits from most good chandlers, they normally come with thimble size pots of pigment.

Or you could get it mail order from Blue Gee in Poole Tel 01202 676612

You need the kit with the white pigments obviously!

Use standard white gel and a couple of drops of wood stain, it's trial and error but you should get it fairly close!
