Author	Topic:   source for desert tan?
james cosby	posted 03-02-2001 03:28 PM ET (US)         I am planning on re-gelcoating my '71 Outrage this summer. Does anyone know where I can find desert tan gelcoat same as original? and how hard is it to apply? Also I have some egg shelling in the gelcoat on the upper deck I need to deal with first. I have read in the forum on how to repair the spider web cracks but this is a little worse. Thanks for any help it's nice to have an information source for classic whalers. JC

That's good when you first lay it up in production, but to re-paint, use a 2 part poly. (a lot tougher) Listen to west systems interview in the radio forum, and good luck!
