Looking to paint the hardtop on new to me 1987 Tiara 2700 open. The hard top is not original and added by the previous owner. I'm replacing the electronics (radar, GPS, etc) and while I have all the hardware off the hard top want to put a coat of epoxy resin to smooth it out (fiberglass fibers starting to show) and paint it to match the hull. I've searched and found conflicting info. I've seen awlgrip oyster white h8139q but also found from Tiara gel coat colors called eggshell or ermine white or laguna sand. Awlgrip does offer an eggshell h8015q. I'm not sure exactly what color I need and if awlgrip paint options will match. Anyone every paint their older tiara instead of gel coat? I'd rather paint than gel coat. Thank you in advance.
