Painting Fiber Glass

[cruzin33]

Im about to mould my topstage vent onto my r31 bonnet but not sure if i can use a normal primer on the fiber glass vent. Its got a gel coat on the top but not on the bottom.

Any help would be good

Cheers

normal primer is fine, so is normal paint

Actually if it's fibreglass, Normal primer wont be fine. You are better off using Etchpro (yeah it's for metal but it actually sticks to fibregass 100times better than other primers) Says it on the tin too.. You can get it any alot of basic colours, like i did my bodykit, i sanded the kit with 360grit wet/dry. Then 1 coat of etchpro. then used a 2pac primer. Etchpro is a single pack, but it actually works well/bonds well with 2pac primer.
