Hi Nick I had a fibreglass kit car many years ago and that had to be painted because the gel coat did not have a very good finish. They had to use a Primer Etcher base coat otherwise the paint will peel. I hope that helps Kevin #5959 -----Original Message----- From: nicholden@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:nicholden@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 October 2004 10:42 To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Painting Fibreglass Hi, this is a question i posted a while ago but didnt see it come through to the list? Before i put the frame back under in the next few weeks i would like to re-paint the engine bay in a Black Satin. Just after other peoples thoughts or experiences with painting over fibreglass. I was thinking of a light prime maybe, then 2 top coats of acrylic black.
