Blue gel colour code

[rosssavage]

Hi all,

my workshop was robbed a few months ago, just discovered the thieving ******** dragged something heavy across the bonnet and wings of the car.

Its a 92 car, dark (navy?) blue and I need some gel filler to fix the scratches. It's not painted, so the filler has to be a good colour match. I've just called pilgrim, and they no longer stock the coloured filler for pre 97 kits and don't have a record of the colour code.

I have contacted Llewelyn Ryland who supplied the gel originally, but what I really need is the colour code for this gel.

anybody know? Ta!

Pilgrim will probably be able to tell you what it was or is.
Den's Stand In willl be able to help I'm sure.

He has tried Pilgrim they don't know!!

My apologies, Les.
That'll teach me to speed read.

Thanks Les and Kev - unfortunately they don't any more!

daft thing is, I got a small pot of repair gel when I got the kit all those years ago... Can I find it now??!!!

I bet it would have gone off and hard by now, but it probably had the RAL code on it.

[rosssavage]

Yeah, that's the bit I really need!

I have a pot in the garage from the early 90's. No idea whether it has the code on it. Will have a look for you

[rosssavage]

That would be a massive help - thank you

Well good news and bad news:
- I found my gelcoat pot and it's still soft (though the hardner has all evaporated)
- I found the original invoice from Pilgrim
that's the good news

BUT...
- The pot only says "Navy" there's no label or marking anywhere else on the pot
- The invoice says "Navy"

I have about half a pot so it you draw a complete blank I'm sure I can let you have a sample or something - don't think you're too far away if your title is right - I'm up near St Albans
