Gelcoat Colour Matching - DIY How to

In this CZcams video, we will discuss the importance of tinting the color of your paint or gelcoat to match when doing a repair. Matching the color accurately is crucial to achieve a seamless and professional-looking finish. We will guide you through the process, highlighting the key steps and techniques involved in color tinting.
Tinting the color ensures that the repaired area blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface, making the repair virtually invisible. It is important because a mismatched color can be easily noticeable, diminishing the overall quality of the repair.
We will cover the tools and materials required for color tinting, pigments, mixing cups, and stirring sticks. We will demonstrate how to identify the correct color formula based on the existing paint or gelcoat, and how to mix the tinting pigments to achieve a precise match.
Additionally, we will discuss the importance of testing the color on a small inconspicuous area before applying it to the repair. This step allows you to make any necessary adjustments to the color formula to achieve a perfect match.
By the end of this video, you will have a clear understanding of why color tinting is crucial for a successful repair, and you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to confidently match the color of your paint or gelcoat for any future repairs.

Mostly only spectrum color

With due respect for your video, I really wonder how you can get your bulk mix exactly the same as your sample.

Start with a base color, see what pigments work. That way you don’t waste 6oz or more of Gelcoat if you add a wrong pigment and get an outcome that can’t be reversed.
