There's a pretty good article by Don Casey on the BoatUS site.

http://www.boatus.com/boattech/casey/02.htm

I watched a guy doing some repairs on one of my hatches that had to be cut for the generator install, the write-up in the article seemed to hit all of the major points and had some good suggestions on the color match.

There's also a gel coat repair how-to video at Jamestown Distributors - I couldn't get the video link to work directly but the following page should include it.

Let us know how it goes!
