medonaldson Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have two new cycle wings to spray up (friend has offered to do them as he has the gear and experience), however he was under the impression they would have some form of base coat. They are raw fibreglass and I believe the primer needed is some form of flexible stuff? Does anyone have any confirmation of the best approach to spraying on fibreglass or any tips 🤔 Thanks, Mark.

The Pikey Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Clean them well to remove any mould wax and key them up with scotch brite If the surface is not perfect then a coat of filler/high build primer will take out any imperfections but only use what you need. Then find out if your colour requires a ground coat or it might not match the rest. Jason Currently, I am qualified to plead ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medonaldson Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks Jason, Somebody mentioned gel coating them to me, I wasn't sure if they needed a specific primer or not. I have a colour match in terms of the final glossy finish, but obviously this is dependent upon a good base.

The Pikey Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 all the gel coat is the first coat of resin that was applied to the mould before the matting was layed in so you have it already. Jason Currently, I am qualified to plead ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
