done right, your gelcoat will last 30-40 years, paint will never last that long. Paint seems harder to repair chips and dings and in some cases to redo you will need to sand it off and start all over. Not sure what the interior looks like, but if's just a lack of shine, buff magic will solve the issue a lot cheaper than either gelcoat or paint.
