Default Gel Coat or Paint on fiberglass

I rudely hijacked someone else's thread asking this question (my apologies).

So i thought I would simply start my own thread.

I am replacing almost the entire cap, filling in the transom and multiple repairs on the hull for my rebuild. I have been told that you cannot do a gel coat repair over epoxy, you have to use paint (I am planning on using west system), but they say you can gel coat over their product.

does any one have any experience with gel coat? is it really hard to acheive a clean finish? I am not afraid to learn, as most of this is a learning experience for me.

I am trailering this boat as we fish in many waters, so i do not need anti fouling paint.

Am I over thinking this?

thanks in advance.
