I would'nt advise sanding through the gel coat, as this WILL reveal a pourous surface.
You will then need to fill each individual pin hole, that you will find in the resin and fibres under the gel.

A double gelled item is better for a good sand and paint job

nah, it wont do that, fibreglass kits has a gel coating on them which makes them smooth etc.. just sand the shine off this then prime and paint as normal.

Is there anything you can do in the preparation stage as to stop a bodykit sucking up all the fcukin paint you offer it? like coating it in PVA i dunno if that would work just guessing really!:wave:
