Cobra Cosmetics II: How to Refinish?

I have an old Eiri Avion fiberglass trailer. Two years ago I asked an
autobody paint specialist friend how to deal with the deteriorating
gel coat. He said " Why don't you just paint it with house paint". I
took his advice and applied it with a roller and paint brush after a
good scrubbing. Two tone with a third color mimicing graphics on my
ship. So far it is holding up well.

The house paint I'm familiar with chalks noticeably over time. Is yours
chalking or is it retaining a good gloss?
