    Hi all,

    I have a fibreglass body dog trailer that is starting to look a bit dull and shabby with a few scratches on the surface. I would like to give it an overhaul and was hoping to get any advice you guys might have on the best way to prepare and paint and the best type of paint to use on fibreglass.

    Thanks

    Its hard to paint fibreglass with conventional paint, if the surface is really bad and chalky, it might be best to give the whole thing a good soda blasting and spray a gelcoat finish on to it.

    Apply a coat of Zinsser B-I-N primer then your finish coat on top
