fibreglass panel colour

[james3004]

I'm going to paint my roadster, so what colour fibreglass stuff would it be best to get?

[David_17]

White will be the easiest to paint, why not get the fiberglass the colour you want though?

[james3004]

cos the colour i'm doing it is a pearlescent, and it won't match the painted ally if i get it pre coloured

[David_17]

Ah, you may have to check with the paint supplier then, as some pearlescent need a coloured base cote if i remember rightly.

[james3004]

they recomend a white primer, so i guess white it is

You have to be careful when painting fibreglass parts. How are you intending to paint your parts ie outside, in the garage or in a heated paint booth/oven?
During the laminating process you get small air bubbles trapped between the layers which will expand when they get warm or in the case of a paint booth/oven hot. It is adviseable to pre heat the parts to cause the bubbles to expand before you prime the parts, this way you can fine fill all the blisters before they are painted so they don't break through your finished paint.
Also beware 2 pack hang overs if thats what you have in mind for home use they're a killer!
