Material: Gelcoat repair on kevlar hull

Looking to repair two small (quarter size) areas of gelcoat on my kevlar surfski. I have done gelcoat repair on fiberglass but read somewhere that polyester will not adhere to Kevlar. Is there a product sold that will adhere to the kevlar and give a fairly finished look or will I just have to use paint. Thanks for any help.
