Fiberglass top
I need to repaint or recoat my fiberglass top. Just wondering if anybody has done their own. Since it is flat white it shouldn't be that hard to do. Just thought I would use my HVLP gun and shoot it with some oil base commercial grade paint. Probably could even use Rustoleum, I think its only 9.00 a quart at hardware store.

Re: Fiberglass top
If you are planning on keeping it, clean it up, epoxy prime, and single stage white with flattening agent. If it's just a beater or something you're going to sell, cheap whatever white that resists UV will be fine, just make sure it's clean when you do it.

Re: Fiberglass top
Really went cheap on this one. I figured the worst that could happen is that it has to be repainted again. I didnt even shoot it. I got a quart can of oil based flat white Rustoleum and just rolled it on with a foam roller. Of course I cleaned the top first. Mask. Then just rolled the top. I have put three coats on so we will see how it holds up to a Texas summer. The gel coat was coming off so fiberglass was starting to show through. Had to do something. Almost looks more satin than flat. Tried to take a pic but just could not actually see anything.
