WRONG. This is a small chip and I certainly wouldn't use paint.  Sanding 
once the gel coat repair has hardened will help it to blend in. Use a  gel 
coat repair kit from a marine supplier. One that is UV stabilized.

Fiberglass repair resin with glass filler already added (available  at home 
depot) (it has a picture of a boat on it) mix some and practice on a  piece 
of wood with a chunk knocked out of it. Use a plastic bondo spreader to  
apply after mixing in hardner in a small pladic cup.  Sand ( buy 80 100  150 
and 200  , maybe a 400 grit sheets) start with the 80 and use each  grit. 
Sand smooth, may have to apply fiberglass a few times.
may have to  get regular fibergladd resin to fill cracks. Sand, sand, sand. 
 Paint  over repair with one of the following: white solvent based enamel, 
one part  rexthane, two part epoxy paint, or two part enamel.
Even A bad job wont  look too bad.  A good job will not even be noticed.

got Aeolia back to my dock. They probably took the  outboard off the lift & 
set it down too heavily.
