gelcoat
Hi Jeroen..
gel coat is the top layer of the hull and decking that give it it's color...if you get a ding..the easiest thing to do is get a gel coat repair kit from your local boat store....you can apply it several ways...by thinning it out with thiner...you can shoot it thru a spray gun...let it dry and then wet sand it...you can mix it with the hardener and apply it directly and then block sand until the ridges are gone..then wet sand to give a shine..work your way in finer sand paper to get a good smooth shiney finish...all the way to polishing compound and finally wax....if you have a good sized ding...rough sand to smooth the jagged edges out and to provide the gel coat something to grip too..then follow the directs above......note...the more hardener you add..the faster it will set.....ideally you want to add one part gel to half part hardener....depending on the requirements and temps....follow the instructions from the gelcoat co......
