Clear Coat or Gel Coat?

We own an 06 Winnebago Journey with full body paint. Does our exterior surface have a clear coat or a gel coat on it? Have heard both so not sure. Thank you all.

Gelcoat is a finish that is part of the fiberglass process. It is the first thing sprayed in the mold, them the glass and resin are added.

Clearcote is a clear finish that is applied over paint.

Welcome to the forum, Grant. The previous replies are correct; if you have full body paint, it is clear-coated.
