be careful when just laying clear over gel, especially red. I have seen it still fade through the clear than your really screwed. As long as its prepped how hard is it to lay on a few coats of a uv stabilized basecoat color? Sand it with no finer than 400 and use an adheasion promotor like Bulldog from SEM. Dust a few coats of color (PPG's DBC) than clear with PPG's DCU-2021 or similar.
