I'm considering a one-piece fiberglass tonneau cover, and have been
wondering about the gelcoat vs. painted issue. Seems to me that the
gelcoat would be easier to take care of, right? Should be more resistant
to scratches, etc. I'd imagine, while the painted cover would require
careful waxing.
I've been leaning towards a black fiberglass gelcoat cover, but would
like to hear other opinions about the gelcoat vs. painted decision.
