Bilge Paint
I just finished filling a couple of bolt holes with West System. What is a good type of paint that I can put over the repair to get it to blend a little better. You wont be able to see the repair after I install the new battery boxes but I am a perfectionist and want it done right. The bilge is an off white in a 2000 Fountain Fever. I was told GelCoat wont stick to the west systems.

Re: Bilge Paint
GelCoat will stick to west system. You are better off priming it with Durratech if you want but with a small patch blent it will work fine. Take some water and scuff pad and scuff the repair after the west system cures. This will get the coating off the top of the west systems. Since it is such a small repair you should be fine.
