fiberglass, should i use etching primer? Options

[punkuup5150]

mk im goign to be painting my car in the next month finally its taken me a while to track down all of the componets for my transformation. i have fiberglass fenders, hood, wing, and rear extenstions and when i go to bare metal i use etching primer to get a good bite on the sheetmetal. my question is should i use the etching primer for fiberglass? will it hurt it? is there a primer that works better for fiberglass? ive painted from bare metal before just not fiberglass and wasnt sure if it would damange it in the process. it seems thats there is like a gel coat on top and i wasnt sure if this was primable or shoudl i prep it with etching primer.

heres what i usually use http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail....tegoryCode=3275

make sure you get that gel coat off....the primer might not lay right, just like you want bare metal for the primer to stick right and the paint to stick to the paint, you want the primer to stick to the fiberglass as well and that gel coat might lift the primer
