Generally speaking, a sandwich wall is covered by thin plywood sheathing on both sides. No foam exposed.
In the U.S., Gelcoat is a thickened polyester-resin-based goo with no structural integrity. (In fact, it will dissolve most foam boards.) If I gel-coated one of my sandwich wall cores, there's no way, the skeleton outline wouldn't show. Even if I made sure the foam and the Gelcoat were compatible. And eventually, it would crack.
But we may be talking about two different substances.
