Fixing Dings and Dents

[mike_i]

How can I fix these dings and dents in the hull of my boat? They're only about a square inch in size. It would be nice to match color but not a major issue.

This will be a relatively simple gelcoat repair. Grind them out, fill them with gelcoat (might need to thicken it), then sand and buff to the desired finish. I would get some white tinted gelcoat and if you want, you can try tinting it to match. I had to repair gouges like this on the keel of my boat.

the boat has been either repainted or a different color gel applied at some point. so matching may or may not happen.

regarding the gouges and chips, thicken gel will work.

that crack should be investigated further.
