To paint or gelcoat depends on whether the boat will live in the water or be trailered. Finish paints such as Awlgrip or Interlux won't hold up below the waterline if left in the water for over 72 hours. As my 15 Sport lives on a trailer, I opted for Interlux Perfection, a 2 part polyurethane paint. Easy to apply with roller & tip method or, if you fave a good respirator, by spraying and the finish is very hard and durable. Finish sanding with very fine wet paper gives it a nice gloss.
