EJO: the current gel coat has pinholes and cracks. I think it is beyond repair. I also have to repair some dings and divots with epoxy so paint is my option. That said, should I barrier coat prior to painting the hull? What type of paint works best over barrier coat? I've read so much about this and still feel a bit lost with all the different options.


Yes in that case a barrier coat will be needed for the pin hole defect.
I believe a barrier coat is as good as a primer and therefore cut out that step.
Good luck in your repair.
