Gelcoat will hide some imperfections in the surface and you can get a good finish on it by buffing and topcoating, the sheen will go if you don't apply some sort of protective layer to a gel finish. Gelcoat is easy to repair but likely not to get a perfect colourmatch as it will fade and the mix may be slightly different to the original batch

Wraps need a very good substrate to be laid on as it WILL look awful if the underlying surface is not 100% and wraps can only be expected to last a few years and if not applied correctly will peel, bubbles etc... all down to the guy who applies it really.

Paint is paint, costs a lot, needs a lot of prep etc... but tried and tested and easy to touch up from stonechips etc
