I went with the original paint line measurements but lowered them around 2", see profile pic for original line. I thinned with interlux 2316N (max recommended amount). I recall they recommended around 6 hours before overcoat but I totally disregarded that and waited about 20 minutes between coats. I believe it was a 1 gallon kit I used. It is a thick paint. I had some damage to my gelcoat when I stripped the original bottom paint so I had to spray around 3 or more coats of A2000 (sanded between coats) to protect the exposed fibers so not sure about spraying over gel but if they say it can be done then go for it.
