Trailer tent painting

Recommended Posts

I have just got a small trailer tent with a fibreglass base in black gel coat.

I tried wrapping and struggled on some of the complicated curves. So I have decided to spray paint it. What's the best method of covering black gel and do I need sand and prime first?

Thank you in advance.

I'd give it a light sand with 240 on a grit da sander to key the surface. Do any repairs with filler if you're that bothered how it looks. 

I probably wouldn't spray it though, just because it's quite big and likely to make a mess. I think I'd be roller painting it with something like a boat topside paint.
