1999 GSX Limited Gelcoat color

[brandoindabando]

Hi all - first of probably many posts here.

I picked up a 1999 GSX Limited for $2k a couple weeks ago. She runs great but has some scars on the nose that I'd like to look into patching. All the videos I've watched look like it is an easy enough DIY job, but I can't seem to figure out how to get an "as close to OEM as possible" color gelcoat (Gelcote) kit for the repair. I'm not too concerned with it matching perfectly but obviously perfect is best. LOL

I have attached a pic for reference. If you zoom in you can see the spot that needs repair on the nose. The ski is 300 miles away from me right now so I can't grab a better photo.

Any advice for getting the proper gelcoat repair kit/color is appreciated! Thanks all!

Thanks for the advice.
Unfortunately their website is not navigable at all... https://gelcote.com/
I can't get past the homepage. Wonder what happened to it because I have seen this same advice elsewhere.

I work in webdev for a living. Maybe I will reach out to them about fixing their site LOL

The search continues....

For anyone who comes after me, to see anything on the site you have to switch to mobile view in your browser or go to the site on your phone. Clearly a big issue for Gelcote LOL. I was able to find a contact email address for them and sent them an email to get help for my specific issue.

Figured I'd drop the email here incase anyone needs it in the future: Orderdesk@lloydslaboratories.com

Cheers y'all!

Also remember, the color might have faded a little overtime, you may have to gel coat the entire piece to get it right.

Thanks. If it isn't 100% clean from up close that is fine. The repair will fade over time anyway.

That is if I ever manage to even get the correct gel coat hahah
