Painter by trade - automotive and if your not going to flip it and gel coat it , first choice . I suspect urethane to be a good choice .High quality - high solid urethane is the next best. Prep work is the first step to the top coat and of course straighten it out a bit and sand it and do edges well . You sure you can't buff the gel coat and continue to keep the original sir , that's always a nice way to keep original and costs nothing other than compound and some work . That's is good advice . Keep it original and when you sell it its still original .
