Shetland 570 beige top coat touch up

Post by Telski »

Hi, I’m new on the site, Shetland owner for 10 years.with new products coming in all the time would anyone like to recommend a top coat touch up paint for my classic beige 570 that you know works well & is easy to apply. Also a good colour match.

Well it would not normally be painted at all. The finish is the gell coat of resin. You can buy beige coloured gell coat repair kits. which would be the best solution. If the finish is not chipped, but just dirty, try automobile "cutting compound to bring back the colour, & the shine.

I’m refitting an 80s black hawk. I sanded and polished the beige Gelcoat and it did look a lot better, but not as good as a new lick of paint.

For the top (out of the water) I painted with international one up and top coat of toplac plus. Easy to use with rolling and ripping off to get a good finish.
