"There are only two colors to paint a boat--black and white, and only a fool would paint a boat black"
Nathaniel Herreshoff
Now, I have to disagree with Cap'n Nat. A dark colored hull on a classic boat looks striking. But, its harder to achieve and maintain a nice finish.
Getting back to the project, I'd probably approach it like this:
Take off the metal rubrails
Clean the area with a degreaser like Formula 409
Wipe with acetone
Sand out the loose bits (save the largest paint chips) bevel the edges
Get the dust out, wipe with acetone
Mix filler thoroughly
Trowel it in using narrow and wide plastic scrapers
Wait a day and sand, sand the corner by hand
Reapply as needed
