Gel coat repair?

Wondering if anyone knows how to fix Gel coat scratches? A couple of deep ones from the cleats on the gas dock! do they make a simple material? Thanks in advance!

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.

Thanks Mike I need to do that too. Friggin dock in Barnstable is a piece of you know what.

Would you use a normal auto repair spray gun to shoot this?

yep, even one of those pump up bottles from autozone. you can use one of those ultrafine rollers too.
i also see no mention of a mold release there.
gel coat takes forever to dry(maybe 3 days or longer} if you don't put mold release on it. it's basicly a thick spray soap. you spray it on{can use windex spray bottle) after you spray the gel coat. an hour later, wash it off. you have to get it out of the open air so it can cure. you can use saran wrap or wax paper too..
