BOAT CARE & FEEDING
GELCOAT COLOR MATCHING SYSTEM Available online and as an app for smartphones and tablets, the Dolphinite GelMatch™ Gelcoat Color Matching System allows a user to input a boat’s make, year, model and length. The system then scans a database of 250 boat manufacturers and more than 13,000 OEM color formulas for most boats manufactured in the U.S. since 1984 (and in some cases, as far back as 1967) and identifi es the correctly matched gelcoat color. Gelcoat has a shelf life of about 120 days, so the gelcoat colors are made to order and shipped the same day. 855-435-2628 // dolphiniteproducts.com

Polyurethane resin provides abrasion, chemical and water resistance. Compass Clear soaks up UV rays from sunlight, converts them into heat, and dissipates them through the surface of the coating.
