Rob,
Check out this post for you gel coat. TRBenj's suggestions on bringing gel back to life I used the method that TRBenj talks about and mine looks very good. |

A heat gun gets pretty hot, I use a hair drier.

Hair dryers are for girls. 
As long as you don't turn it on the highest setting and leave it in one place for a long time you'll be fine. I didn't have any problems with the gel coat getting too hot. |
