Painting GRP

What sort of primer should be used on GRP. I am told that some paints attack and spoil the smooth surface... and once it is primed can any top-coat be applied?

ask your paint supplier they will be able to tell you

Lots of safety warnings! Just like your pages.

Nasty stuff GRP - if you die I don't want you saying I didn't warn you!

once you've used the primer can you just chuck any old topcoat on it?
