I'm going to paint my fiberglass boat and I have some questions for whoever may know.
I dont believe the boat has been repainted before, its all the origional fiberglass skin or whatever it is. Its just ugly and faded and needs a fresh coat.
Do I need to prime it if it is already sealed? There is a lot of oxidation all over it (cloudy white chalky). Can I get away with just cleaning and sanding it well?
I may do some minor body work (filling in scratches / screw holes on top). For that, Can I use Bondo or similar filler? And can I just spot prime with any primer suitable for fiberglass?
Can I use topside paint on the bottom? I dont plan on ever storing my boat in the water
Thanks for you help.
