Paint instead of Varnish

First off, I know this request is going to raise some eyebrows, but here goes anyway. I'm planning ahead to paint the hull of my RBA instead of leaving it clear (or completely clear coat), however, because this is a strip boat there dosent seem to be that much information on the different steps necessary to paint a gel coat a hull as opposed to varnishing it. Can someone make some recomendadtions please.

Best regards,

Matt
