Hello folks. I was wondering if anybody has done any minor touch-ups to Rapido's white gel coat and if so what colour code white paint did they use. How successful was the repair

There are two ways. First you could try and get the paint code from Rapido then ask your local paint factors to mix you a small tin, or failing that take a small painted part to them and they can scan it. I took my toilet access flap and they matched it perfectly.

Regards John.

Thanks for the suggestions John. Brownhills quote Fiat Bianco White but like your idea of taking a part that has weathered and getting a colour scan match made up from that

Hi Mystro

Take a part that has weathered, but ask for a paint match that will weather to the same colour.

Good trick if they can do it I know, but I had a job done and it matched perfectly - until the new paint faded!!

Hope this helps.

(P.S. How long before someone tells me I can't spell Mystro?) Very Happy Very Happy

There are several shade variations on Fiat Bianco so you'll need to take a sample in order to get the correct shade variation.

I think got some in the shed if you're passing? Rolling Eyes
