	Hello Bill, How you finish the inside will depend on the level of damage. If the laminate is fractured, meaning it is cracked, in which case fibers may be damaged inside the surface of the laminate, I would recommend an FRP repair with cloth and resin. If not, paint will work just fine. Remember resin just bonds load carrying fibers together and has very little strength by itself. Just applying resin to the top surface of the laminate will not add strength and under load it will almost certainly crack in the exact same place it cracked previously. If you are in doubt of what you are looking at, e-mail me some pictures. Bill
