What the heck happened to them? Can't find them anywhere for purchase.

That link used to have Spectrum kits. Now it doesn't. That was exactly my point.

could be a supply issue.

I just checked the spectrum website, and it sure looks like they have de-emphasized the repair kits.

I know. Very sad for us diyers...

my guess the de-emphasis on the color match kits is that too many faded boat owners complained that the new gel wasnt a match to the faded boat or the inventory was getting old

here is a link direct to spectrums kits https://spectrumcolor.com/collections/patch-paste-kit

I personally prefer to tint and mix my own to match a repair on older gel (older than 5 years). my local fiberglass supply house has a variety of tints and bases just for that

Yes, but their kits did work pretty well despite the color being a bit off. I've never had any luck mixing my own gel.
