Process to fix gel-coat damage and scratches,
For your specific gel-coat repair kit, you will need to go to Spectrum Color's website to look it up/order. Their site is: spectrumcolor.com/
Griots G9 Random Orbital Polisher: amzn.to/49kygN8 (many other options here, but I landed on this product after my reading reviews on it an others)
Griot's 6.5 inch foam pad, white: amzn.to/3TVgmw3
Griot's 6.5 inch foam pad, orange: amzn.to/49eRBPV
Griot's Fast Correcting Cream: amzn.to/3PG1JdC
Griot's Ceramic all-in-one wax: amzn.to/3Q4qVe7
Sandpaper assortment pack: amzn.to/3Woz6FA
3M sanding block: amzn.to/3WqsV3B
Microfiber towels" amzn.to/3SbVqzN
Nitrile gloves (the paste is a NIGHTMARE to get off your fingers). The gloves are also good for 1,001 for other uses: amzn.to/3VGiRnh (Large) or amzn.to/3xpk9c4 (X-Large)
Note the orbital polisher, pads, and cream/wax are also excellent to shine and address imperfections on your automobile. Pads can be rinsed for many uses. I also wax the hull of my boat with the Ceramic all-in-one and an orange pad.

Thank you for making this video. I have similar scratches on my boat from doing the exact same thing. I got a quote to repair for $800 and this convinced me to try it myself.

Try using popsicle sticks to mix the product and you can use less paste but proportionate the hardener, just measure correctly. One layer of painters tape works well. Acetone for cleanup.

I'm going to be fixing hairline cracks and dock rash soon and I'm going to use gel coat paste as well. I have to look into spectrum everyone says there great at matching colors. Yours came out great.

Gel coat was applied way too rhick. It was hard to level and you took off more original grl coat around the area bc of excess sanding. Why rush? Apply several light coats.
