Yes I like yellow. I like sunshine and :) ;) :lol :reye2 faces. You can find your camper in a campground. I have been to Scamp Camps and you have to remember your site number. Most have different tow vehicles.

I think it is great that people share their fiberglass experiences and knowledge with all of us. It is a big help.

Keep smiling:lol :reyes :reye2

Colors

Gel coat is applied and comes in colors.

You can get various color gel coat patch kits at your local boat store ... or online at web boat stores.

You can mix and blend the gel coat colors, to match, if need be.

Gel Coat

Gel Coat is clear resin then pigment is added to make it any color. You can buy it with the basic colors added already. Only problem is there are so many shades of each color. You have to check the material purchased to see if it matches. If not you can add additional pigment to get a match.

fiberglass repair

:wave

I ordered the West Marine Catalog online. It came in short order. There is about 90 pages of this 1000+ page catalog that is maintenance. There are paints, epoxys, calkings, gelcoats, putties, books, and all the stuff we need and didn't even know it. There maybe other sources that we don't know of yet. It is a good thing I have time before I start fiberglassing. Still so much to learn, so little time. :conf

Good going!

Good going Pat! Reading up on all the stuff at West Marine is a little like studying ... but a whole lot more fun!

We are all better off if we think about our little fiberglass wonders as being closer to boats than traditional stick-built RVs.

Another plus to "thinking boats" is traditionally, everything for boats is compact or multi-purpose due to similar space limitations.
