Emblems and gelcoat paint color
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2019 8:38 am
Two questions:
1. Emblem: Going to try to replicate or re-finish the old Trojan emblem as well as the 11 meter emblem. Cannot find any replacements other than vinyl. Rather be as close to OEM as possible. Thinking 3-d printed will be an option how do I remove the original? Glued/screwed on from back?
2. Touchup paint: I have a few nicks, dings, and areas where the gelcoat is gone. Black base peaking through. I have already used the gelcoat paste/ putty, but in some of these areas that is too thick to cover and look nice. Hoping to put a few light coats for touch up to hide the dark areas. Does Awlgrip have a color that matches pretty close?
Snowed in Michigan last night so naturally started thinking of boat projects to tackle....
