Well I could add it but then you'll get people saying "I'm spraying it blue", what option do you use then?

Maybe another Poll?

Just an option for painting would probably do it.

edited to say: A black one for me.

Does anybody know if you can get different shades of a colour in Gelcoat finish? Is there like dark blue or a light blue or is it you can only get one colour of Blue?

Default Great News John

John,

You seemed a little shocked that Marlin were doing single colour gel coat finishes.

So as you wanted a 'Black' one, just for you I phoned Marlin and asked the following be made abailable....

Jet Black, Midnight Black, Very Dark might as well be Black Black, Roman Black, Deep Sea Black, Blacker than his Black, Stupidly Black, Blacker than the Blackest thing you have ever seen Black and Just plain Black.

I also suggested that Black lights be made available 'Just for You'.

Great seein you and Chris.

Regards Trev

That was and still might be my original plan "Black". But I've been withering a bit and can't decide!!!

I don't understand the gelcoat process. So as an example I did not know if they could do a light blue instead of dark blue.

Good to see you and Ian. The car is looking great and sounds great!!!
