If you're not worried about the spraying, then you haven't sprayed gel much before. Compared to paint, gel coat it a whole new level of pita. The prep must be absolutely meticulous, or you get fish eyes, waves and orange peal. It's so thick that it does not flow well. Modern urethanes are much more forgiving than gel. Try to thin it and you can get spider cracks.
