Amazing how little color it took to match.

Were the final layers waxed? Did you sand between layers?

as an ex pro I have a word of warning; it is not nearly as easy as it may seem. A trick for matching gelcoat; when you put you drop of matched gelcoat on, sprinkle a tiny bit of water around and put on a piece of celophane, like the one on cigarette packs. This will stick to the area and give the test drop and the surrounding area the same sheen, making it easier to judge the colour match. Also, when sanding the filler, do go below the existing gelcoat level on the filler, otherwise your repair will be a bump and be standing out like sore thumb. Half a milimeter to a milimeter is good. In some cases, like on horizontal or slighlty inclined surfaces it is possible to skip the filler step and use gelcoat only. Gelcoat is thixotropic, so it will not run easily. Don't do the repair in direct sunlight. It is hard to judge the colour match and sun heat speeds up gel times.

Could you please provide a list of the products you used? I'm a total newbie and it would be nice to be able to read a little about each of the products to help with my education before purchasing them and trying this on my boat.

You forgot about cleaning first with solvent

Did you use waxed or unwaxed gel coat?

nice job but you keep saying the word “obviously”. If its obvious, do you need to say it?

Interesting, but not really complete. For instance when rubbing down the gelcoat final coat, what grit? Going up through the grades, or just the top. Rather than a DIY instruction, it’s more “this is why you need an expert”.
