Hey everyone, just a quick question,
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,
Jason.

Generally epoxies are the primers for other coatings.
Note if you apply the paint over the epoxy within the 5 days or so the
epoxy takes to cure, there is (in theory) a chemical bond as well as a
mechanical bond between the epoxy and the topcoat.
