Its true, tinting gelcoat is not that hard to do, but it takes patience and a sense of colors. I tinted an almost exact match for Desert Sand. Assuming you will start with white gelcoat buy more than you need. Then when adding the tinting colors, which should be available from the fiberglass supplier where you bought your gelcoat, if you get the color too dark you can lighten it by adding white gelcoat to the mix. Don't buy your gelcoat online, find a fiberglass supplier, they can answer any questions you have. If you provide them with a sample color, they can color match it for you, but it will cost you some bucks.
