I redid my floor last year and went the Signature Finish route. First I took the white paint along with a hatch to a local Sherwin Williams and had them match it - took a little work but you cannot tell the difference. I applied a coat the the floor and then taped the floor to maintain the original texture - time consuming. Mixed the anti-skid supplied by Tom at SF and painted the deck per his instructions. Came out very nice and you cannot tell I redid it, I also painted the non-skid on the cap.
I have never used gelcoat so I cannot compare but I really like working with Signature Finish.
