Is there a specific gelcoat (available in the US) that is recommended for a 2009 Infusion hull repair? Minor repair but it needs gelcoat none-the-less.

Thanks

Thanks - is that what's used during Infusion production? Why recommend that one?

That's what Jack at Nacra reccomended to me. I used it and it matched well it on the bottoms and some other areas... there were a few spots it wasn't 100% match but very hard to tell once it was buffed.
I don't think you can get the same gel-coat as production since it's moved to Thailand.

I use the West Marine white gelcoat and it's almost an exact match, I have a 2008 Infusion.

I've used a lot of gelcoat and the sher fab gelcoat was some of the best i've ever used.
I had a professional do my bottom job and he used this gelcoat i gave him and he said the same.
