Dennis has given best advice...go to Fibreglast website, rent the color books, 
pick the closest or a little darker and let them tint for you...
The sun and weather are different everywhere...hoe the finish has been cared 
for....too many variables on a 30+ year old finish to just assume it will 
match.  
I have used this service and it is only way I think to get close.

This was addressed a while (years?) back on this list.  We also have the smoke 
white.  White base then so many drops of brown, yellow and red as I recall.  
When I get a moment will see if I can find it in my records

The most common deck colour by far was "Smoke White".  There were a few 
"Neptunus White" and a very few were actually "Pure White or "White".

 

Renting the swatch book as Dennis suggests is a very good idea I'd think.

Looking for input on original gelcoat color name/number for our venerable C&Cs.

My 41 is what I thought was white (but as my wife can attest, my color vision 
leave much to be desired) however, as I put a spot of base white on a repair, 
it is waaaaay off.

Does anyone know what color I'm trying to match?  I get the 35 years of 
elements taking their toll, but the gelcoat is pretty thick on these boats, and 
I may sand out some of the patina which will put me closer to the original 
color.

Thanks in advance,

 

Chuck
