Oh ffs - who cares??? What's wrong with allowing prescribed coating methods - gelcoat + 2k, acrylic, whatever specified paint and let the market decide from there?? Just allow what is readily and economically commercially available. Who cares if one is faster than the other - within 3 years the market will even out and that's what all hulls will be coated with (if there is an actual advantage which I suspect would be minimal all round).
