Yes. The primer that you use on the metal should also be applied over the f
iberglass primer before you paint. There will be a color miss match if ther
e is a different color primer under the final paint. Most color coats requ
ire that the primer be shot within 24-hours before the color coat else sand
ing is necessary.

Hold on
a minute here. If the parts are made with vinyl ester resin=2C use a polyes
ter
primer. If made with epoxy resin=2C use an epoxy primer. Do the final prime
r coat
with whatever primer your paint manufacturer recommends. DO NOT SAND OFF AL
L
THE GEL COAT.

Priming Fiberglass
I have completed fitting the canopy skirts=2C cowl=2C
wheel pants and fairing for my -8A. I plan to delay painting until after th
e
plane accumulates some hours. I was going to apply primer to the fiberglass
' Sems Self-Etching grey ' the same stuff I used on the metal.
However=2C a VAF poster said that self-etching primer is
not to be used on fiberglass. When I then asked for an alternative=2C I rec
eived
limited response.
How valid is the assertion that selfetching primer
doesn=92t work on fiberglass. I did apply a single coat to my canopy skirts
over a year ago and they seem fine. And can anyone recommend a Sems
alternative?
