Hi Everyone,
I’m having my first go at restoring my 13 78’ whaler. Below the waterline just needs some cleaning and fresh paint. Along the hull however are a couple areas of fading gelcoat or completely chipped gelcoat. Any suggestions on the best way to repair?

The factory finish is gelcoat.

Someone has already painted the hull.

Sand down the paint and reapply.
