[Public-List] Primer?

[Richard Mair]

We have a liner so the paint went on to gelcoat. If your non liner finish is
a gelcoat finish then there will be no problems..
  We bare about to apply the same paint to bare fiberglass panels in the v
berth where we replaced the pegboard with thin fiberglass sheets.,I do not
anticipate a problem..
