Ahhh I see! My bad, I thought I had read that you were using unimould, now I see I totally made that up!
In any case, it still shouldn't give you release issues. The only issue I can see is that spray gelcoat is thinner than brush gelcoat and so it will be harder to brush it on to the appropriate thickness. However this would only cause issues with improper curing and alligatoring, I don't believe it would cause any issues with release.
What issues are you having now? Have you got a photo of your tray? Straight 0 degree edges on 4 sides would certainly cause release difficulties if the edges have enough surface area. If they are only small lips then it shouldn't be too bad, but if they are decent sized edges with a bit of surface area to create friction then releasing a part from them would be difficult.

Well I thought its maybee because the products there are in the spray gelcoat to make it thinner ( aceton or styreni ) these could maybee make the polyester parts or the clear coat on some parts weak and thats why they wont release specially on the round edges .
