Odd use for gel coat

[6meter]

I have all self made kitchen cabinets at my lake house but the shelves are plywood. They get stained with spills and such and was wondering what the thoughts are about coating the shelves and bases with gel coat to protect them? Contact paper didn't stick to well and I don't think paint is right either.

Too much work. Formica would be my choice. Or replace the shelves with melamine shelves.

If you are not concerend with sanding it fair, and leaving a textured surface, I think it would work well. Just roll it on with a foam roller and reinstall.
