It's a bit mis-leading when they talk about "removing all traces of gel coat". The thing they are essentially removing, is any mold wax/release agent that may be squeezed between some of the gel coat at the joins.
Gel coat in itself can be sanded and painted (as nearly all of these Cobra's are done this way). Wax, release agent or any foreign substance will wreak havoc with paint, (as I found out, the hard way).
