use as little primer as posable. only prime bondo and patch work,paint sticks to gel coats and paint just great and if you get a chip you would see primer. base, clear all the way for me. been painting skis like that for years now

So prime, paint, and clearcoat is what we should do? I'm going to paint my hole ski bottom and top orange and my handlepole black. I was going to prime and then get some orange gelcoat and spray the hole thing.

Your best bet is to use an epoxy based primer, and as your topcoat use a urethane based paint and clear coat. This type of paint will cure hard and resist damage fairly well.
