Default Sailplanes are white...because of gelcoat?

I believe the first Phonix was Polyester Resin, then the later models
were Epoxy Resin. Libelles, etc are Epoxy Resin....pretty sure.

In contrast, my Libelle's manual says that no particular steps need
to be
taken to protect the glider from the sun regardless or whether its in its
trailer or rigged. Its resin looks like polyester rather than *epoxy.
Does anybody know for sure which it is?
