Default New Paint vs. New Gel Coat???

What are the pros and cons of both options? I am considering a new color scheme on the Motion. It currently is painted white. Can you gel over paint?

No gel over paint.

Do you leave the boat in the water for more then a couple days?

Sometimes it will sit for upto 5-7 days. The best way to clean is to use toilet bowl cleaner.

I was thinking about going to a solid dark color so it wont show the scum as much. What is an average price for a multi color vinyl run? I don't leave it in long enough for any real seaweed to grow.
