looks like BondDo of some sort.
Definately some kind of filler. But too hard and brittle to be run-of-the-mill bondo.
What's all this grey stuff? dried out, cracking, hard as concrete, and paint flying off in sheets.
And another thing. Who inell did this!? first pic shows outside crack, second is back side of same crack, note doubler, third is back side of same crack with my finger removed. There's un sanded paint behind the patch, and the doubler was added after the patch was made!!
Cheeze-O-Pete! If yer gonna mix up resin, apply a patch, and attempt to add a doubler, why not prep the area properly first.
Could be marine tex,much harder than bonds.
Why Not??
fill it again, make it all smooth and nice, Wax it really good, then use it as a plug to build a mold, and manufacture a totally new part?
your repair will some day fall out too. Bonding to old fiberglass is for the most part a temporary fix.
This is why you shouldn't buy homebuilt aircraft. Anybody and their dog can work on one using any method they want - and this is what you get.
If this had been a type certified aircraft the repair would have been done by a qualified individual using approved methods and materials and properly documented in the log book.

Put a wire wheel in a high speed angle grinder - whatever the grey crap is, it will just evaporate. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-4-in-Crimped-Wire-Wheel-Brush-48-52-5070/100015130Whatever the grey crap is, it doesn't grind, or sand worth a crap. It clogs up the disc and turns gummy.
Whoever did this repair knew nothing about working with fiberglass, or any other composite for that matter. My guess is that whoever had it done carried it to Earl Scheib, and got it done for about $50. Didn't even bother to remove the paint, much less scarf the edges. And packed glass all over the greasy aluminum parts as well.
It peeled right off nicely.
