Spectrum Color Gel Coat - UK supplier?

Postby Nick » Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:48 pm

Hi, I have a few scratches that have built up over the years and I decided to fill them, but my Bayliner gel kit has dried up and is useless. Its a Spectrum Colour gel coat kit and is rather expensive to buy from the States and ship in.

Anyone know a UK supplier of the stuff?

tnx in advance

what you after? I have a one litre tin of bayliner blue left over that I'll never use if thats any good to you. Windermere aquatics if you want the white, £25 for a touch up pot or £90 for the 1litre tin

It is the Fathom Blue and the Dream White I'm after. I phoned Windermere Aquatics too and they said "we don't have a spares department anymore"!!!

Anyway, let me know if the blue is the right one and we'll talk terms :)

tnx

Na, wrong colour blue :( but thanks anyway, the offer is appreciated!!

I have contacted them. They can only ship via UPS at $85 which makes the postage twice the cost of the 2 products! But Windermere Aquatic did suggest Bates Warf. Not phoned them yet as they'll probably be at the show...

tnx!

I can see a business opportunity here for an official Bayliner distributer of spares etc...
