It's a shame you can't lay a few coats of clear over the gelcoat, I assume it wouldn't take properly?
with gelcoat there is really no need to clear coat it as it's quite thick I put a reasonable scratch in my boats gelcoat all we did was rub the scratch out and rebuff and you couldn't tell there had ever been a scratch . with paints and clear coats there only microns thick gelcoat would be at least 10 times thicker maybe more . even if you let gelcoat fade think of 30 yr old boats you rub them back and buff they come up like new I cant see any reason these cobra bodys would be any different imho.
