If it removed the gel-coat the best way to repair it, is sand lightly and then use two part epoxy, (you can buy it in twin mix containers at the hardware store for about $3.00). Get the five minute setting one.
Brush it on with a glue brush or artists brush, and then immedialtely press on a piece of clear plastic film, (like overhead projector film or loose leafe page protectors) and tape it down as tight as you can with masking tape.
The next day, take the tape and plastic film off, and you should have a glass-like finish.
Sand that lightly with a 200 grit sand paper, and then spray it with an automotive paint, (comes in cans at Advance Auto). White is the easiest color to match.
If it only a surface scratch, usually Gel-gloss will rub it out.
