Default Spraying Gel, need advise please..

Had a couple of gouges and I filled them now I would like to match the gel coat. I'm wanting to spray the gel. what do I need to use to thin it enough to spray? also how much hardner do I put in? The section is about One foot long by about six inches right below the rub rail, I have new rub rail..
The gough was only about three inches long and about 1 eights in. deep. by the time I sanded everything down I ended up with the one foot length to match up with the rest of the hull, By the way, Im dealing with white. any sugestions or advise. I was going to paint and blend in but just cant find the right shade of white..so I thought I would spray gelcoat.
