Not strictly related to exterior gelcoat (all mine has been painted), but I have been amazed at the colour variations of the gelcoat on the interior liners. Here are a few examples. One shows the area behind the portlight trim pieces in the salon, and the other shows beneath two different head labels that I just peeled off. The lower label was for a Raritan head, which I assume was original given the lighter gelcoat, and the upper was for a different brand (forget which), and now, there's a third label for the current Jabsco head on the lower teak cabinet (ugh... I'm afraid to remove that one!)
