After the cutting & buffing. Shine seems pretty uniform. Although if you look carefully, you'll see the new gelcoat is not 100% perfect in color, probably due to age, sunlight etc. I'm happy w/ it though.

This is before the cutting/buffing.
The repair is done. Came out OK; I'd give myself an 8/10. Not perfect but I did it myself.
Patches became visible overnight. Both these are more "wet" than the other two. It has me confused.
The next morning. The patches are now more visible and in some spots, wet still. The upper patch in the pic is NOT wet however, and is more opaque. It actually looks good, even up close.
Next 600, then 800...then buffing. The gelcoat is a little bit rough in texture so I can see where the sanding is needed. Big thanks to Scott @ Triton for the gelcoat, catalyst and instructions.
Spraying done. Trust me; the holes are there. You just can't see them now!
