[quote=dennisMe]For the final coat, I'd go with gel coat if it were my boat, paint if I were selling ;-) Gel is way easier on maintenance, on the bank account, can be quite easily color matched and has second to none wear resistance. You can just buff it up if it gets dull or dirty. The orange peel effect you get with a roller is only visible from really close and will only cost you a place in racing if your ego is sensitive to the type of comments you may expect within two to three boat lengths of the mark. If you can spray paint, then I wouldn't worry about it at all, unless you are really vain and need to check up on your tan while at the beach.
If you apply gel over the epoxy, let that cure very well first and sand it at around 220 grit to give the gel enough grip.[/quote]
