Default Awlgrip-Painting textured surface??

LPU paints require much more labor than conventional paints in prep and
application, but offer very high gloss and excellent weathering
characteristics which you may not want or need in boat interiors. I'd use
an alkyd semi-gloss from the corner paint store. Prep with a scotchbrite
and TSP.

The ceiling of my boat is textured gelcoat. As I read the Awlgrip
instructions they seem to insist on preparation which would destroy
the texture. Can I not simply wash and deway according to their
instructions, followed by a sound scuffing with an abrasive pad,
followed by a wipe down, followed by either brush or roller
application?

All suggestions appreciated.
