Anyone know where I could get the correct color code for the gelcote Baja used in 1998 (white)?

Thanks for the link. They list every year model from 1985-2008, except '91,'98,'99, and '00. Go figure! I've emailed them so hopefully they can help.

I once bought one of Spectrum's gel touch up kits in purple. Didn't match, and when I told them, they said they get it from Minicraft.

How old was the boat?

The only time Spectrum hasnt matched ( for me anyway ) is when the surrounding area was faded.

I always warn the customerthat im going to wet sand the surrounding area before doing the repair so it matches the factory color, then let them decide if they want to do the rest of the boat themselves or have me do it,,,,, or just let that area fade again !!!

I just finished an 06 Fountain using Mini Craft, premium gel with embeded wax, a few scratches and one chunk down to the glass.

Block Wetsanded up to 1000 grit, buffed, polished, waxed and you cannot find it.

Minicraft comes as a very complete kit with great instructions and tips,,,,,,,,, but for a basic repair Spectrum is more user friendly and ALOT cheaper.
