[Joe Monteleone]

Looking for some tips on how to repair the scratches, etc from scraping against docks last season.

Thanks.

Call Spectrum Color (800) 754-5516 during business hours and give them your boat manufacturer, model, and color of gelcoat you need - they will tell you the kit order number. If it is not any major amount of surface, a 2oz paste kit works best.
Once you have the kit number, order it online from iBoats.com, it is about $30. Very good quality and the color matching is perfect.

Here is a good example:

A pic of the scratches and scrapes would be helpful to determine how to repair. Most scuffs and light scratches can be buffed out. Some of the deeper ones may need a light sanding first. A really deep gouge will require a small gelcoat repair from the above mentioned spectrum repair kits.
