Full Body Paint or Gel Coat??
Am looking at buying a model that has either, both are at same price. In the new Thor Hurricaine's, they get more for the full paint, but I see benefits to both. What are the pro's and con's of each??

Due to my neglect (really....USING the motorhome) I let the bottom 1/3 which is that blue/grey color oxidise to the point where it could not be reclaimed. So paint it I did. No paint "code"...the color is baked into the gel-coat....the painter took about 2 hours to get a darn near perfect match. Everything got stripped down and new stainless hardwear....4 grand. Looks brand new.
Now...the upper 2/3rd...that is white in color, with the decals...just compound it and once a year wax and buff it with a wheel...looks brand new (without painting).
Yes..the decals, up close look a little "rough" but completely acceptable. Not changing them yet. Coach is a 12 year old gasser.
Oh...did I mention that pulling into one of them "10 year max" places, they never gave the coach a second glance. Or first one, if I recall.......
