Hi Dave, Yeah, I had a hard time with the paint code my fiberglass panels. So I took an old piece of the painted fiberglass to a paint dealer and "matched" it up with a Toyota car color of all things. Also the autobody product for repair is "Corvette Panel Adhesive". It's the sands the same as the fiberglass panel. I attempted to use the "short fiber" fiberglass filler, but found that layers of the panel adhesive are better. Also get prepared for primer hell. I believe I had to use a two part primer, that required a different hardner than my paint- the clear coat requires yet a different hardner. I've moved since I did this an don't have any labels to refer to. But a good Body Shop supply can easily set you up with the materials.
