v20 top cap removal

[CharlestonSC]

I am going with VE as I think this will do a fine job and doing the repairs in this weather should give me a bit more time, I am using US composites
they also sell a epoxy putty that will work to glue the new floor in and stick the liner back to the stringers. Mine has a Ttop the rod holders make me have to use a fork lift to hoist up the top stright up over the console to get it off, the ttop is one of the main reasons I am redoing the floor as it was getting very loose.
One more question in on the floor of my sport 20 is grey if I do some minor crack repair do you think paint is the best way to cover my repairs or try to tint gel coat grey to cover it up?
Thank for the input and I'll post some new picutres soon.

Well, since you're using VE, gelcoat should bond well....I would try and match the gelcoat first and see how close you can get..and ask USC if they have gelcoat compatible/same brand with the VE you're buying..if the color you mix doesn't match well, you can always still paint over it. In either case, matching gelcoat or paint with an aged surface will take some patience and skill....touch up refinishing without repainting the whole area is one of the hardest things to do...good luck! Post some pics when you're done.
