Hello

Does anyone knows which gel coat color is this. I need to repair some cracks but first need to buy gelcoat.
Is it desert tan or something else ?
Where can I find it?
Tnx a lot

All model years of the Outrage 17 I were desert tan.

All gelcoat is hard to match. Is your hull been stored under cover or in the sun most of its life?

How many cracks do you have? Detailed photos would help.

Spectrum sells pre-matched gelcoat in qt sizes. They also have patch kits in smaller sizes.

www.spectrumcolor.com

I used the color matched Desert Tan patch kit for screw holes on my 1991 and it was 95% close but not exact.

If you are skilled, you can color match yourself.

If I blow the picture up, I see what looks like spider cracks around dings and just above the rub rail. I would grind them out a little with a dremmel or scrap them with a can opener, clean and fill.

Looks like chips out of the gel coat, through to the fiberglass. I've fixed chips like these with the Spectrum patch kits with good results (see my personal page)

Nice looking boat, congrats on a good find.

Maybe I didnt explain good. On few places there is no gelcoat only fiberglass under the rubber.
And on spectrum colors site is written: we dont ship international. :(

Might look at Tap Plastics.
Tapplastics.com

Look under fiberglass, then Gel Coat on left hand side.
