im putting fibreglass cloth with epoxy resin on my boat and wanted to
paint it, but i dont know if i have to use primer first or just add
the paint? any help would be appreciated, if i use primer, which type
do i get? thanks,


First, read the docs that came with your epoxy; they are not all the same.

Second, wash the area first with soapy water to remove any blush (common on
most boatbuilding epoxies, though there are some non-blushing versions out
there). Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.

Use the primer designed for the topcoat, as long as there are no warnings
against it in the epoxy docs.
