Too dark as not matching the surrounding gel coat or too dark for what you wanted?

You can always get white tinting pigment from the supplier and mix it. Unless you are good at matching color, I would ask someone who is help you out. Wrong pigment and the thing might turn to a color that is way different. I believe the original color was oyster white.

I am no expert but pretty sure once its on its on and you cant change the color with out redoing all of it. MAS epoxies sells pre-colored gelcoat and the flex mold to repair the non-skid patterns. Someone on the board did their deck with it a while back. I have never bought anything from them, but they have sent me samples and seemed pretty nice.
Thanks
