Just for clarification - and maybe I'm wrong - but I think it is all gel coat filon. There are different grades of filon, of which Keystone offers standard filon and a high gloss gelcoat which is just a thicker layer of gelcoat over the filon with a higher gloss finish.
Exterior finish is one of my pet peeves - so I would go for the highest grade finish you can. I've had Keystone products with standard filon, and with high gloss option. The high gloss always looked better (shined like a mirror in fact) and the graphics adhered to it much better than regular filon. Just make sure the cabinet doors are also high gloss or they will degrade differently than the rest of the coach. There are a lot of 2007 era Rvs out there with yellowed cabinet doors compared to the rest of the exterior.
Of course then there is full body paint, which we now have and it is awesome!
