Thanks Carl, didn't know this was how the boats came from the factory. My boat was originally a light pink color (this from the original owner and also from some scratches on the deck). The second owner had it re-painted to the off-white/grey, I believe with Imron, just prior to selling to me.
anyway, I think my gelcoat repair on the epoxy filled puncture/scratch will hold up...it's certainly stuck well and I don't keep the boat in the water, which is sounding like the main reason this issue is of concern.
Mike.

Your Tornado is a Marstrom? Marstroms come from the factory painted with Spies Hecker auto paint. The cloest US equivilent is IMRON pure white base. A good auto paint shop can make up some 1 part touchup paint for you.
If you will do a search, you will find a thread on this from a couple of years ago.
I can't imagine anyone coating an expoxy boat with gelcoat. You would have to prime it to get it to stick
