Actually it is "Tropi Cali" from Roth Flake. But yeah, it is as close as I could get to the original apricot.

Took me 4 coats of clear with flake and 10-12 coats of clear with duratec on top of the 4 coats. 
You have a lot of sanding ahead of you. Well worth it in the end.

Started with masking the sides of the hull and transom for black basecoat.
I got the professional grade 6mm elastic masking tape to be able to do the curved contours. This thing works awesome.
Black basecoat turned out pretty good.

While the hull is drying we moved on to the engine cover.

What are you using for product. Gel or paint?
