I need to do some light gelcoat repair on scratches on blackish gelcoat. I have tried buffing but they are a little deep. They appear white they are above the waterline. Any suggestions on an easy fix if there is such a thing?

Re: Minor gelcoat repair

Order one of the Spectrum gelcoat repair kits and follow the directions. The original owner of my boat had screwed some ugly fender holders to the sides. I removed them and repaired 4 screw holes in the red gel coat and 4 in the white using the Spectrum kits. You can't tell they were there.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I've heard fairly good things about Spectrum stuff. I guess it all depends on how well one can follow directions.

Go to you tube and search for gelcoat repair. There are a few good examples in there. Good luck with it.
