It's the correct color, but it is the type you use in a spray gun and is very thin. Using a number from an old patch kit I called the SPECTRUM Company in Auburn, W A. I found they still have some of the small Catalina White "paste" patch kits available. The paste is thick and much easier to use - especially on a vertical surface. They also have the thickener called "Cabosil" that mixes with the factory spray consistency and turns it into a paste.
