Let dry, and use a suitable automotive paint to match.

I have left over materials from a previous project, but will have to check to see if the bonding agent is still good.
I have also used GOOP and fiberglass for similar repairs, no idea if the Flexseal product would work as i have never used it.
I have used the Flex Seal, in spray form, for a fountain repair and it did not work. I haven't tried the FS tape but folks indicate that the tape does work.
