2024 Yamaha AR190

Well had the boat serviced last month for the initial one. Compression was good and plugs were good. Fresh oil and filter for the rest of the season here in Az. Took the family out to a new lake closer to home and really enjoyed it.

The canyons were epic and the wild life was a nice treat! Good ol Az big horn sheep.

However we ended up scratching the hull pretty decent. Gouged and all. Tied off at dock, got truck, switched with wife. Back on boat wind kicked up so tried pushing off the dock as there was a pontoon in front waiting on their truck that had broken on the launch ramp. So due to the wind got re tied on dock and took bimini down as it was catching the wind like a sail. Well some where in this process the bumper blew up on the dock and caused the hull to rub pretty bad…I have a rad paint/body shop near me so got some fiberglass filler and various grit sand paper to prep and fill the gouges. I’m having trouble locating the specific paint code as this place can also make the correct color with proper code in a spray can version for easier application. So mumbling question is does anyone know where I can find the paint code for a 2024 AR190 with a maple red hull?

Don’t use spray it’s a gel coat this guys can help everyone here orders from them including me for my gray came out perfect with a few hours work..

 
First wash/rinse the area. Then try 1500-2000 grit wet sand paper (with water obviously, I used a spray bottle in the past) to see if you can just take that first layer off where the scratches are. Then get some polish and a buffer and polish away. Even just a good buff and polish might take those out or at least make it less noticeable.
 
I’ll try the wet sanding with fine paper.
