Does anyone have any advice or links on how to prepare & paint old fiberglas?
I have a couple of large panels in unpainted original gelcoat that are unused/never fitted but have been in storage for many years.
There's no obvious damage, fitting isn't a problem for me but I'd be grateful for any advice on how to get a good key for the paint.
Getting paint to stick is the main aim, I can live with some ripples/marks as it's not going to be a permanent addition
I've found 1 great post on here (thanks PhoenixCapri !) but I'll happily take any other links or tips
As thanks, I give you...
