Whatever material the mould is lined with, it is permanent, and it would be the same if building a component without gelcoat.

Yes, gelcoat is effective primer; it's just more than is needed as...

The gelcoat is just the first layer sprayed into the mould; it can just be skipped, so non-coloured resin is visible on the exterior of the resulting shell... although understandably ETI isn't...

I assume that it was painted after manufacturing, since it is unlikely that Escape accommodated painting during the build.

But I was just commenting that the fittings don't need to contrast,...

The Model T was introduced in 1908, and through the 1913 model year buyers had a choice of several colors, including black. For 12 years, only black was offered because they needed to build quickly...
