Your original finish didn't look very glossy to begin with? And it looks like you've used regular gelcoat rather than tooling gelcoat, which is ok but regular gelcoat does tend to have lower gloss retention than tooling gelcoat.

All of that said, it does look like you've had a minor release failure there as well. What release agent did you use?

This is the only gel coat the I kind find in my city... we are far away from everything... I paint the original but didn't put gloss coat, only sand with 600 papers... I use wax and liquid release.. but something didn't work well.

Otherwise this is my first proyect... too much to learn yet, and mistakes...  I put the geal coat without the release agent, when I notice I must to remove all with thinner, and star again, maybe this is the reason that the red color stick in the geal coat... novice mistake

Ah, yes this will do it - the thinners will soften the paint and make it very susceptible to chemical attack. Got away with it though, all you need is a quick sand with 1500 grit paper and compound it back to a decent gloss.
