Use Awlgrip and get the brushable catalyst. You get the exact color you want, use a foam roller and it has a slick hard shell finish like an epoxy floor coating. I just did the bilge section in the LCB and Randy uses it in all of the liberators. It works really well.

I just finished doing the interior of an Allison 15R my son & I are putting together.
Brushable (thicker then sprayable) waxed gelcoat, tinted with readily available gelcoat pigment.
Get the base to the colour you want, mix with 2% MEKP and brush / role it on. If you want to get fancy, before the base goes off mix up a small batch (100ml) of sprayable gel with webbing compound in a contrasting / complimentary colour and lay it over top. It’ll look just like it came from the factory.
PM me if you want some pics.
My experience with doing gel work is very limited and this was very simple and the results look great.
