The correct Whaler color code for "Outrage Grey" has evidently been lost by Whaler, which is probably why Sp.ctrum is no longer making it. Both Spectrum and Mini-Craft told me the color code came from Whaler, Both were wrong, not even close - way too white, as mentioned.

So for any Whaler, 1971 Ribsides up though the outer hulls through 1982, you cannot buy pre-matched gelcoat - period. You have to blend it yourself. I have not been able to find the correct color, for my Ribside, my 1975 Outrage 19 outer hull, nor the 1979 Montauk outer hull.

Right now I am in need of some of this Ribside 21 color, so I will be sending a plug cut out of my 1971 Ribside console base for a courtesy light (same color as hull) for a custom color matched batch. They require a gallon (4 qt containers) for a custom match, at a cost of about $175. Even then, I may still have to do a small amount of custom blending for a perfect match.

For those needing the outer Outrage Grey hull color, a group buy may make some sense if an accurate color sample can be sent in. That is often the problem - finding a sample of hull gelcoat to submit.
