O.K. I used to do fibreglass repairs, back when the Avanti's were popular! But, laquer primer was all we had back then. The newer stuff has come out since i retired about 7 yrs. ago, although there was some new stuff then! That's why i told that other guy to post a message to you, since you seem to be "up" on the newer paints! I had to get out of the body work/ painting trade, because the hardener got to me! When hardener first came out, the paint reps didn't seem to think anything was dangerous about it! After painting with a regular, 2-cartridge mask for 3-4 years, the damage was done! And then, the newer paints came out, with the different hardeners, etc., and they finished my career! Now, if a body shop is exhausting paint spray near where i'm standing, i go into an asthma attack, can't get my breath, start to wheezing, and if i don't leave immediately, they'd have to call an ambulance! I have to ride around in my truck with the window open, my head sticking out the window, to get more air in my lungs! So, any advice you can give that guy about painting fibre-glass will help him. I limit my painting to spray cans, and Rust-o-leum, with sponge brushes! Those sponge brushes do a fairly smooth job. Tried them yet? My grandson loved his Radio Flyer wagon, painted with them!
