VIEWER SUBMISSION: Although this kind of gelcoat damage looks intimidating, it's actually pretty typical and not difficult to fix :) I think the hardest part about tackling a surface like this is getting over the mental hurdle (also navigating all the material options to make sure these cracks don't ever come back!!)

1 versus 2 part paints? What type of fiberglass to use? What resin to use? Does fairing material make much of a difference?

Short answer is that all these questions are important and the approach to take will vary from project to project based on a number of factors ;)

Hopefully this info makes your project more approachable!!
