Color matching

I have a 2017 Sierra Forest River Fifth Wheel. Its a 378FB. I had a small tractor run into me at a camp site last year and have a small brake in the side of the trailer. It looks like a gel coat over plywood. My question is does anyone know the color codes for this fifth wheel? Ive contacted the company twice and was told it was a gel coat and there is no color code, that I would have to have it color matched. Has anyone dealt with this problem before and if so what was your outcome. I find it hard to believe there's not a code for the base color which looks to be light beige. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. there may not be an actual color code for the gel coat (for matching color) I would think an auto body shop could match the color just like they do with older cars that have faded paint.

Locate a body shop that does corvets or a fiberglass boat repair shop. They have the ability to color match gel coat.
