: and is the color added to the resin or is it painted after?

Hi Roy,

It was a wet layup with 4 layers of 9 ounce twill and a halo of 5.7 carbon sandwiched between. I damaged the gel coat on extraction so the finish you see in the photo is a respray of lemon yellow gel coat with some clear added.

Best,

Reg
