I would recommend against paint. The gelcoat holds up way better than paint ever could, and it usually polishes up nicely. Depending upon where the crack was and how it was repaired you have 3 options.
Option 1, leave it be. I usually prefer this one as it gives me more time to sail.
Option 2, sand and gelcoat over the repair, then polish boat.
Option 3, Start into option 2, find out the repair was poorly done, sand away most of the repair and then build back up with glass and then gelcoat. Regret not taking option 1.
As far as sanding, I usually prep repair areas with 80-120 grit. For polishing up the boat I start with 220 grit wet sanding, and work my way up to 1000 grit, then rubbing, then polishing compound.
Thank you for attention. Actually I am confused I wanna restore the all part I think If I restore thr hull first this summer, I will restoring the other parts it can be easy in the next year. Repairing and painting the hull so easy for me I think I could make fiber repair and body filler compound repair thats look like very easy and we have a good painter in our company for painting the hull and other parts. And next question could ı paint the mast and back,front and sides profiles?
