Default Seat Bucket Restoration?

I aquired some Pace Car style seats but the fiberglass buckets need some restoration. From the picture below, you can see an area where the fibers in the fiberglass are exposed and loose. Any suggestions on how I should go about repairing this area? What about the "texture" on the buckets, how to a achieve this look on the repaired area.



Thanks

Mike

I would apply epoxy without the cloth to the area and touch it we a rag to create the light texture it already has. Wait for the epoxy to cure for a minut of so and the press the rag against the repair.
