Im good.colors are hard to fix because the color is going to be hard to match.I do not know the name of the company but their is a kit you can buy.and you have to know what you are doing to be able mix the right colors.I do not remember what it cost but gs marine does color matching I had the same problems with mine he match it dead on.go on youtube if you want to try to fix yourself they can possibly help you.good luck.
