I recently had the topside of my '74 Starcraft painted by an auto-body person, using base coat/clear coat automotive paint. Looks great- we'll see how it holds up. For the bottom, I've just had it buffed out good- shines nicely and the small scratches are almost invisible.

Auto touchup paint will work fine if you can match the color.there is a gelcoat repair kit which you mix to the shade you need.depends on the depth of the scratches.Charlie
