I know it's been mentioned, but I continue to have problems with the site's search function. Our noskid on the cockpit sole is being repainted and they've got the color wrong. I saw mention of the color of the beige gel coat, but does anyone know the paint color for the Cape Dory Beige if one was just to repaint the noskid? I appologize if this has been discussed endlessly, but I want to let the yard know today before they mis-guess again.
Thanks,
Brian W.

I can give you a match in gelcoat. Contact Gel Coat Products at the contact info below and give them the year of your CD and they will have a matching gelcoat.
For my '83 CD30 the nonskid beige is #053097. White is #042997
I've never tried it but Z-Spar Miracote Grand Banks Beige single part polyurethane seems fairly close in color. You could also get a sample of the old color and have an automotive paint body shop supplier like Sikkens, Dupont or Sherwin Williams do a color match to the original gelcoat. Just have them mix a two part polyurethane.

Re: Beige No Skid Paint Color
Hello all,
Just one note of caution concerning adding non skid sand to the paint to give it texture. It will change the color! (darker!)
From experience I can say 1. you don't need as much sand as you might think. 2. Never pour it directly into the can of paint (make your mix in a separate container like a paper bucket). and 3. spend the money on good "fine line tape".
This what I did on my previous CD and my Dyer dink I think on my new CD I am just going to paint over the texture that is there.
