Recently put in a new transom and ended up scraping/sanding the entire face of the outer aluminum. Primed with totalboat aluminum primer and was wondering if anyone has opinions on if I could just gel coat right over the primer? Primer is pretty thick and was a 2 part. Don’t care how pretty it looks but honestly the primer don’t look half bad.

2-part paint

Gel wouldn't survive on aluminum.
