Most of the exposed surfaces on my 911 are either fiberglass, or carbon fiber.
I guess at some point I have to prime the whole car with a primer/surfacer, or primer/sealer Does gel-coat glass need to be primed? In all im thinking there will be 3 different surfaces to be painted, gel-coated fiberglass, carbon fiber, and steel/bodyfiller surfaces ( just A and C pillars) any advice will be appreciated |

IIRC, most paint systems offer a flex-additive for panels that might have a bit of "give" in them.
Decide what paint system you're gonna use (Sikkens, PPG, etc) and then go to the auto body supply store. Every auto body supply store I've been to, the clerks there have been really helpful. They don't want to sell you crap you don't need... the paint business is competitive - they want repeat business and recommendations. -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |
