Hello all,
I just purchased a 1976 Slickcraft ss-215 and am searching for color chart.It is between an white and eggshell and needs some gel coat repair.Any help with this is appreciated.

Ahoy and welcome to CF. Congrats on the boat.

My local fiberglass supply shop matches gel coat by polishing a portion of the project and then mixes resin with pigment and applies it to the polished portion, repeating this process until there is a match. It's all done by hand and eye, no cameras or computers. I have not had them try mine, but I appreciate the process having worked for a house painter that used his own raw pigments to make and match colors for clients.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, bootss.

Even if you could find an original gelcoat match [from 1976], it won't match now [fading]. Just do the best you can, by eye [as Spot advises].
