RE: Learning about fiberglass fabrication?

Gelcoat is very useful for the boat lay up folks, and if done properly (surfacing tissue) will not shrink in time, and show the underlayers.

It takes less skill and preparation to gel coat than paint a boat.

The best Euro boats are not coated , they are cured inside the mold with huge banks of lights.

For a cruiser the ability to touch up paint is worthwhile.
