Seems like they're aren't too many shades of gelcoat to choose from when it comes to white.  Really just white and off-white.  It will probably be hard to match anything exactly to the color you have because gelcoat MFG's don't offer sun-faded white    .

Give these guys a call...http://www.spectrumcolor.com/.  They should be able to match...

Seriously, not trying to bash Spectrum but after using Spectrum twice for 'factory' color repros on hulls that hadn't taken much of a UV beating (northern short season hulls stored inside) - Spectrum wasn't even close.  Read similar reports on disappointing matches from some - others have reported better results.

Personally, excellent results from these guys for color reproduction for one 'factory' color and two chip matches:

Outstanding customer service each time they've been used.

Just my experience.

Good job, Hardwater!  Actually, most OEM's use Spectrum to supply owners, maybe they should look at minicraft...
