Glasair is of no help. Fortunately airplane has always been hangered so I don't think too much UV fade. This has fleck in it and I believe it was called pearl back in the day. Does anyone have a matching code that may be a start point for me? Looks like Sea Ray boats had a pearl gel coat in that time frame but difficult to choose of an LCD screen. Any Help Appreciated!!!!

I painted my Glasair Diamond white to protect it from the sun's rays. If you haven't painted the gel coat I would bring a chip of it to a paint store to match it. But I would first spray on Feather Fi ll to fill in the area. I know a painter that repaints damaged areas that uses a feathering technique. After he paints the repaired area he mists ou t twice the area repaired and it is hardly noticeable. His name is Jeff and works out of Cartersville airport in Georgia. If you decide to repaint th e whole plane, I would use first use a white epoxy primer and Pittsburg thr ee process system of base coat, clear metalic and top coat. I sanded off my first paint job and replaced it using the Pittsburg system and shed over forty pounds off the plane. Before you paint it, to avoid peeling, rough up both the gel coat and epoxy primer using 220 grit paper. My finish is nin e years old and looks new!!
