It is gel coat just as any other fiberglass surface of the boat...it just has a bit of a non-skid surface to it rather than the super slick outside hull...the prep is key to prevent the flaking you mention...follow what the others are saying about prepping the surface...I remember readin' one guy who put the non-slip granules in the paint...applied it, then sanded to get the TOPS off the granules...THEN painted again w/out granules...PERFECT!!...
