Marlinsurfteam Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Has anyone used the Spectrum Fighting Lady Yellow patch repair kits that are made for another boat manufacturer? I noticed they have the 2 oz kit for Key West, Jones Bros, Mako, and a few others. Spoke to both Minicraft and Spectrum. Neither will sell the Maverick FLY in small quantity. Hull is an '03 MA. I've got about quarter sized ding that I need to repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 May try to have a fiberglass repair shop do a color match for you. Did it on a boat I had. Great match up. I have also used white gel coat paste and mixed blue until I got the right shade on a 30 year old boat. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I'm sure a fiberglass shop has a photo system that shots the actual boat paint and creates a match formula they then produce into a paint sample. I've done this with older house paint that needed a match. 15yr old paint was perfectly matched. If you bring in the boat they'll shot the color match. It's just trying to find a good shop that has the capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got about quarter sized ding that I need to repair. I have. Mine is older hull than yours and conveniently Spectrum is located here in the nations oldest city so I ran by my boat by and they walked out with a meter and matched my hull color to stock gel coat and patch. Turns out the older oyster white after it fades is the same as a currently produced Grady White off white. It was near perfect match for mine. Probably not much help in your case but if you could figure out the shade or have a paint supplier maybe match a paint you could swash on something send to spectrum it may work. It was like 36 bucks for the products to repair it when all tallied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
