Gelcoat Codes?

Post by John O'Rourke »

Hi

Does anyone know the Minicraft Gelcoat codes for a 1982 S2 7.9 for the white deck and white hull. I remember seeing the information somewhere but now I can not find it.

Thanks
John

Ermine White, 766 WT 118.

The document you are looking for is S2info.PDF. You can find it following the 'Fleets' link on the home page to the Fleet 7 home page. The very userful S279triv.pdf document can also be found there.

Gelcoat "Touch up" information for S2 products.

Mini-Craft is a gelcoat matching service that offers matched gelcoat from factory original colors in small and large quantities. The smaller the batch, the shorter the shelf life of gelcoat. Mini-Craft has created a niche business filling the demand for small quantities of gelcoat by actually making small batches "made to order." Mini-craft has on file matches to most of S2's PRIMARY gelcoat colors. They have assigned their own color numbers to our gelcoats for "ordering by number." Following is the most popular of our colors, and the general applications in which they were used.
