Hello Boaters (I'd say fellow-boaters but since I haven't actually hit the water yet in my very first powerboat...not counting the dingy with electric trolling motor...I don't feel that I deserve the title as yet!)
Just bought a used Bowrider with a few scratches in the gel coat. The gel coat by the way, still shines. Anyway, looking for a do-it-yourself method of patching up about 4 or 5 cosmetic spots (no chips, just scratches)...BUT - also want to get the gel colour matched properly. The scratches, like a spite, are in the big shiny burgundy part of the gelcoat, not the white. Any recommendations or references (e.g. YouTube videos) to products I can purchase and approaches I can take to get it fixed and blended in with (as close as possible), with the original?
This picture is not my boat, but the scratches you see on the colored gelcoat are all very similar to mine.
Advice?
