how easy to match paint to gell coat?
thinking about doing a repair attempt on my cycle wing that took flying lessons yesterday but wondering how easy it'll be to get a paint match
close to the BRG gell coat colour?
anyone matched them up before or does it look plain wrong?
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

single pack poly or nacker laquer as we call it seems to blend in ok with a gel finish ,you know the stuff for vans and wagons. ive painted high top
transits and just blown it up the sides of the fibreglass roof extension and it mopped up well but for something as small as acycle wing you might as
well paint the whole thing if your car is green it wont stand out much anyway

Why not go for contrasting colour? Yellow?

darren, i did think about that but didn't know if it would look strange.
anyone got photoshop to do me some the same colour yellow as my roll bar so i can see what it looks like?

Most decent car paint suppliers can do colour matching and can do aerosols. take something in the gel coat for them to match. If it is a single cycle
wing one can should do it and the match should be good enough not to notice the difference.
