I had my fiberglass blower motor cover repaired by a fiberglass guy and I am happy although the color (gelcoat) is slightly off than the hull color. It does not bother me.

If anyone ever says anything about the slight color difference, I chew them out but most people do not notice. They are more impressed with my docking skills!!
Not they same vents as yours I believe , I think yours are smaller ??? Kind of hard to see in your photo

Thanks I may try that color

I agree that is the color. Closest thing to original out there on the market.

It's going to depend on the hull, what it has been through (lots of sun or boat house kept), maintenance/cleaning/polish/wax over the years, etc... depends on how close you consider close enough.
