Set an acetone rag on the suspected paint. Leave it for a bit, if the surface starts to wrinkle & lift = PAINT. If it doesn't it's likely gelcoat......

Intriguing... 6mo you've owned it 'new' to you or it was factory/showroom new when you bought it?It's original, but I've only had it for about 6 months. I think it might be paint, cuz I'm taking some pin-striping off and the supposed paint is just chipping really easy.

You can see the spot above the pin-striping that definitely needs work. It's like that in a few spots on the boat.
