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. Gary A. Sobek "My Sanity" RV-6 N157GS O-320 Hartzell=2C 2=2C338+ Flying Hours So.

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.

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?
