2013-02-20JOHN J asked: I want black gelcoat. Is there such a thing or would I be best off adding 2 oz of black coloring agent to a gallon of white gelcoat?

2013-02-20AMARAL CUSTOM FABRICATION: Black gelcoat is available, check with one of the sales reps & they can help you out. You can tint white but you'll need a lot of tint, not sure if 2 oz. will do it.

2012-02-06STEPHEN BRISBOIS: I wouldnt know. I bought red and blue. since I was redoing the complete int of the boat the color match was not important. However the colors I used were bright and clean. My boat looks awesome. Now if the water would ever come back up I could put it in the water and enjoy it.
2012-02-06BARRY BRIERLEY: The ones I bought from Jamestown worked fine, and I'd recommend them. But you have to know that mixing to get just the right color is an exotic art. I thought I had a 'perfect' color match, but after it cured, it was a little off. This kind of thing is why you hire pros who have a ton of experience.

2011-12-06Ryan L: Unfortunately, we do not have an orange, and do not have the capability to mix colors.
2011-09-26RAY TARR asked: how much resin will 2 ozs color in white?
+Expand Answers
2011-09-27CHRIS WEAVER: It goes a long way, I would say that 2 oz. will tint over a gallon of resin. Some of the resins will state the highest percent of pigment that can be used with thier product.
2011-09-27STEPHEN PLAYS: Without having measured how much I used with the resin/hardener mix, all I can say is that it goes a long way. Very little is needed, I just dipped the stirring stick into the pigment before mixing a 4oz batch of epoxy.
2011-09-27WILLIAM CURTIS: Ray. I used the Black coloring agent for some work I was doing. I used small batches and was surprised how little coloring I needed to make a solid black. To give you an idea, for one pump of resin and equivalent hardener (West System 105A size) I dipped a thin coffee stirrer into the the coloring agent and mixed it into the epoxy. That was all it needed. I would try experimenting with the white a little at a time until you get the color you're looking for. I did find, if I added too much, it affected the hardening of the epoxy. You can always add more, but taking some out won't work. Good luck!
2011-09-27WILLIAM MORGAN: I was tinting a quart of white to a cream color to match a Holiday Mansion Houseboat I repaired. I used less than half a tube of brown and yellow to get the color to match. Add a few drops at a time and mix thoroughly until the proper tint is obtained. Don't put in too much tint at a time as the whole quart could be wasted.
2011-09-27JOHN STILGOE: I have used 2 ozs. of white coloring to one half gallon of resin and been happy.
2011-09-27JOHN STILGOE: A half gallon with excellent coverage.
2011-09-27JOHN VAN BUREN: Ray,
I have not used it for large amounts of resin. I find that a single small drop colors a teaspoon of resin nicely. Thus far I have only used the white for small gel coat repairs.

2011-09-28JOHN PERKINS: I have never tried using any more than the 2 ozs per gal of epoxy (alphapoxy). Just keep in mind it is not going to be bold like paint, more of a translucent eggshell look no matter how much you put in. It also is not going to give any UV protection and will weeken the resin. I mix this coloring agent with Polyester finishing Resin at a higher rate and make a poor mans gelcoat out of it regularly. I would never use this agent in my main layup except maybe for some sort of tooling. If you just need UV protection you might try some aluminum powder additive.
Comments about Jamestown Distributors Epoxy / Gelcoat Coloring Agents:
used this tint to sienna up some gray to match a 1989 rampage for a gelcoat repair. Used very very little in conjunction with yellow tint and black.
in the end color match is the hard part of gelcoat rapair.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Epoxy / Gelcoat Coloring Agents:
If your boat is held together with epoxy, then it might as well look like wood. The dark brown dye added to epoxy can be adjusted to closely match your wood. I have had great results with teak and mahogany. Even large repairs that are exposed to view are nearly invisible when covered with a few coats of Cetol.
This is great stuff, I also have used black coloring agent to fill plugs in a teak deck.
