Not a latex . . . 2-part polyurethane paint or a good quality 1-part topside paint. look for marine paints.

latex wont stick and will come back up

interior gel (pre-waxed)

clean the back-side of the fiberglass with a cup brush on the 4.5" angle grinder

wipe down with acetone

roll on the gel

Depending on how far you want to go with it you can use, as someone said above, a two part polyurethane or a gelcoat. But if you want something simple that works well you can use Rustoleum Marine topside enamel. You can get it at Home Depot.

No reason to pay marine premium, same stuff, just fewer colors: Rustoleum Professionall.

Add enamel hardener and its a fabulous choice....
