The first paint job on a gelcoat finished boat involves putting filler over the entire surface to fill micro defects, the second paint job needs less prep, theoretically 2nd paint job costs less. But in your case something went wrong with adhesion, so extra prep is required.
I watched my previous boat being part spray painted, the masking work is very time consuming. Could be less if the choice is something other than spray, like roll/tip, etc.
The cost of work vastly exceeds cost of paint, so using the longest lasting paint makes a lot of sense.
