To start I would call spectrum and ask what they recommend to thin their gelcoat. Some manufactures say acetone others styrene. Do you have a quart of gelcoat from spectrum or a patch kit ? if you have a quart of gelcoat it may need thickening depending the surface angle.. To get rid of all your white repairs you will need to sand wet/dry all the repaired areas. You will probably want to sand down to where there is a slight depression in the repaired area . Clean area with acetone, then apply the spectrum gelcoat , Probably a sponge brush will work best for you. Spraying would be best. There will need to enough gelcoat applied ( 3 to 5 coats ) so that it can be sanded smooth to the surrounding area.

Good luck !
