I see pictures on Raybo's website, looks like they do awesome work on a variety of boats. Not looking forward to the cost - Before I call them, how much do you think spraying an 18 ft Hydrostream one color would cost?

I've shot all the gel myself on my build. It's not that bad. You'll need an extra set of hands to help, and a good compressor.

If gell be ready for a $750 materials bill. If paint, it could be $2000 just for materials.

I was doing some reading and saw that paint like awlgrip or imron is pretty durable and will have a nice glossy coating, I just don't know if I want paint over my boat in case I need to do future fiberglass repairs. I kinda like how tough gel coat is and it's what boats are made with anyway.
I am considering the 50/50 gelcoat and duratec gloss option at this point...

The duratec is deceptive. I used it several times and went back to just gellcote thinned with styrene. The duratec tends to fade quicker and softens the durometer hardness of the surface.
