Charger... Did you do anything special when you prepped and painted the fiberglass fenders (prime)? I assume you received them and they had just a standard gelcoat, right?? I read that it (gelcoat) has a waxy type consistency/coating... Did you treat them like you would have a metal set of fenders? The buggy I'm soon to be painting is all fiberglass.
Sorry for all the ??'s, just trying to get some similar results. Thanks for all your insight!!
well the fenders were allready painted when i got the car, it was a 20yr old single stage paint job, i just prepped the body, did the body work and painted right over the old paint. if your getting new fiberglass, i'd definetly prep it by sanding with 400 grit sand paper dry, not wet, then just paint as usual. that paint really sticks to fiberglass, i've painted my sail boat with it years ago, it lives outside still looks great. also when you sand the fiberglass, be sure you don't have any shiny spots from the gelcoat, only sand enough to get it dull, on fiberglass espically don't use any primer, there's no need. just sand and clean using mineral spirits, tremclad works amazing on fiberglass.
