Gelcoat over epoxy?

[FishStretcher]

I read that it shouldn't be done, then I read from West system that it can be done. Anyone ever done it? I am rather heavily modifying my console and the patches will be epoxy. I don't want to spray a urethane like Awlgrip. Doesn't mean I won't, but I prefer to try gelcoat here. Especially as I will probably use it later on a molded part.

Basically I cut off the seat on the center console door and epoxy/glassed over it. A hack job, but I didn't have the luxury of time to do it nicely. And the epoxy allowed me to use XPS polystyrene to fill the hole and prop up the epoxy/glass during cure without dissolving, like if I used polyester.
