Abstract
The present invention relates to color matching and repair delivery systems and more particularly to the delivery of a gradient variety of shades of color of a gel coat, resin, and or paint in its liquid form, for the matching and repairing of and to existing colored surface and body structures and in the repair to gel coat and fiberglass surfaces and bodies typically found in and on boats, aircraft, tubs, showers, dock boxes and the like. The general purpose of the present invention relates to a method and delivery system for color matching gel coat to gel coat and fiberglass surfaces. The present invention and system allows users to color match their fiberglass gel coat surface repair by using a kit that eliminates the need for messy mixing of multiple components needed to perform the typical fiberglass gel coat repair. The system dispenser includes multiple chambers or component reservoirs that hold and contain the fiberglass gel coat resin color solution. Chamber number one (the main chamber) contains the 'base' color while the remaining chambers contain the tint and shade colors. The multiple chambers form a unit with the attached pumping head. The variable extraction ratio of the base coat color and the tint or shade colors are controlled in the pump action head as it draws or pushes out the specified and chosen color mixing ratio as matched to the accompanied color match card.
