This happened today on my 71 Corvette. Slammed the door and a big chip about 3/4" fell on the ground. Not the best feeling.
I don't know much about fiberglass but could someone tell me if a spot repair is possible? Also, opinions on the what the random cracks surrounding the damaged area are? The paint I think is original on this panel so I'm hoping lacquer checking, however, my more wise side feels it is the gelcoat failing* (or something else) and the chip that fell off confirms.

I came back here with this edit after some searching. Apparently Corvettes did not have an gelcoat. What goes over he bare glass strands left after the paint fell off?? The photo is the edge of the drivers door below the door handle on the back edge. The photo isn't oriented correctly.
