I was thinking along these lines without spraying it... Just brush it and sand since most people don't have the ability to spray.

Is there anything like an epoxy paint that will fill a few scratches and be able to be wet sanded to a glossy black?

3M Panel Bonding adhesive #8115 it's badness the bitch of it is you need a $160.00 Gun to squirt it through a mixing tube! Just stuff a wooden dowel into the plunger end and squirt it out on mix a piece of glass or whatever then mix it up and apply like bondo it is made for SMC. It is what the body shop's use to glue on alot of the quarter panel's on new composite vehicles. Good Luck.Craiger

If there are no holes in the bottom, just spread the MarineTex on there like body filler. It will be ready to sand in less than an hour. Then just rattle can over it and RIDE!

you are asking too much to fill scratches and be a paint. fill, then paint.
you could try a bed liner.

I just want the purple gone on my ski
there are parts of it i can see through from the engine bay from where the purple is scratched off already.
I sanded, epoxied w/microbubble filler'ed the bottom of my SN
then painted it and it was almost unrideable
It was like trying to ride a small lunch tray through a snowboard park!
I let it rock and roll on the ramp for a while and it got a lot better
I think stippled like a golf ball would be ideal :beerchug:

If they're small I'd suggest three options... 1.) Leave it alone and ride. No one sees the bottom up close anyway. 2.) Sand the scratches smooth and paint it. 3.) Fill it with some thickened epoxy resin, let it dry overnight, sand it smooth, and paint the next day.
Don't take this the wrong way as I'm not trying to be a dick in anyway but from the sounds of it, you're asking for this magical substance that requires virtually no work, is very strong, self levels, bonds to SMC, and buffs to a glossy finish in a matter of minutes. There may be something that does exist and can do all of this but I bet it's more expensive and isn't quite as good as a two step process.
