Gel Coat Question

[sturat]

How well does gel coat take to polishing? I mean how well do minor scrathes come out of it?

Stu i may be wrong but rule of thumb if you can feel it with a fingernail its too deep to buff

Gelcoat polishes up just like paint and usually minor scratches will buff out...depends on definition of MINOR... :smile15:

Stu buffing will definatley help but from what I can see some of those went all the way though hard to tell from the pics.One thing about it it aint gonna look no worse.Just go easy and good luck    :smile10:

They look awfully deep to me.You can buff light scrathes out but that looks like it might be into the second color.You can buy a gel coat repair kit and mix it to the color, fill it and buff.
