https://spectrumcolor-com.3dcartstores. ... uickcart=1
I'm based in the UK and only need small amount, can anyone advise any alternatives that would be available in the UK OR Europe?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

If no glass is showing and it’s small have it fixed locally.
Spectrum does have the color gel coat for Cobalt but they come in large quantities and require toner as even white changes over a year.
Let’s get you introduced with pics in the new members section.
We like to hear about Boating in the UK and pics of R series even with chips are great!

Any good way to color my anchor line every 20 ft so as I pull up or let out I have a general idea? All I can think of is paint or tape. Any product out there?

AJ I use markers in my ropes. Here is the ones that work great so you can gauge the scope.
So I have a question on cooking Prime rib. Convection or standard?? 120 deg? whats your thoughts?

Oh my you guys are bad. I think he was trying help prevent further damage. By marking the prime rib by the foot you know when your getting to the end so you don't hit your boat
So I have small paste gel from spectrum that works great. Have them ship it to you. Or go talk to your local body shop or marina

I have the same small bottle, on BBs recommendation. Having it shipped to you shouldn't be a problem. Mix up a dab in a cup, add the activator, dab it on the chip, sand sand sand, then buff. Voila. No more chip
