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 |

The Ft Riley guy has good advice. The main thing you want is to make sure everything is smooth, a lot of block sanding. Use a good sandable sealer that matches the paint you chose. I would suggest a base coat clear coat system with the clear coat being a Euro or Glamor clear. If you use a metalic, put your last coat with a little extra air and back away a little to get the flake to come out more. Take your time and watch out for nats this time of year.
