Unless it's one heck of a paint job and has a good clear coat job it might be hard to tell visually. We could always go the route of scrape check. are you thinking paint over gel?

Can you tell from this pic?

only reason I am asking this question is it seems a little too easy to scratch for gelcoat

Mike: I am trying to figure out whether I need to take it to gel coater or a painter to fix this rash

[mikeg205]

Looks like paint to me...I am guessing that because of the orange peel texture and the other color beneath the dark blue. IMO

Looks like automotive single-stage (paint and clear combined and shot once) IMO.

How do I do a scrape test?

[memphis23]

If it is paint anybody know of a good one in the Dallas Area?

I have had it for a season and it looks very good just it is not very durable
