If only I had this problem. It is a non issue. The only thing to worry about is water getting behind the fairing material where the lead isn't showing. Unless you want to do a refairing job, just put a coat of epoxy over the lead and exposed fairing material, feather it in, and paint. From MANY years of working J-24 keels.
