DIY Gelcoat Repair

I got some nicks and scratches that need to go. This is my first try at gell coat repair. Here are some pick's of what I have done so far. Like I said first time @ it so if you have any advice

I got the direct color gell from spectrum. They have all major brands of gell in factory colors. You can buy it in liqued (for spraying) or gell (for chip's and holes) I got the gell.


This is the chip I was gonna fill.

First things first. I got a space heater and got the garage nice and warm.

Then I prepped the aera with Acetone

Tape off the aera

Take a dremel and clean out the aera to be filled. The gell will have a better aera to stick to.

I filled the chip with gell and coved it with packing tape and then sanded it with 220 and then 400. The chip is VERY hard to see. went all around the boat and filled every deep scratch and or chip.
