Assuming you can't see bare gelcoat...
If you use ablative bottom paint, a "telltale" undercoat in a different color helps a bit. When the undercoat shows, it's time. Or if the undercoat shows through in only a few places, touch-up can work.
Means some advance planning, of course... and a full paint job to start, unless you're willing to just overcoat your existing color with something different.
Dealing with too much build-up over time is a different issue. Not sure how to decide when to try soda blasting or whatever to get down to gelcoat for a complete makeover.
