...that will always look exactly like a gel coat finish. Only damaged where you've scraped it while fitting the panels.

Go for a gel coat 'finish', even from an expensive manufacturer, and you'll forever be explaining to onlookers that when it's properly polished it'll look every bit as good as paint, no, really it will. They won't believe it and you won't either, deep down. Pay to have it sprayed, spray it yourself or paint it with a brush, but paint and polish it. Gel coat is for Jet Skis, not cars.
