  • New Fibreglass Spoiler – Would it need to be primered?

    Posted by Sean Graham on 11 April 2017 at 17:00

    Quick question,

    Customer called me today, hes ordered a new fibreglass spoiler for his car.

    Would this need to be primered before being wrapped? I’ve asked him to bring it into me once he gets it to have a look at it anyways but just wondering if it will need to be done.

    Thanks

    if it has a very smooth gloss / satin gel-coat I would say no, vinyl will usually stick like the proverbial to it. If it’s naked and rough, then yes, it’ll need sanding and painting in my opinion.

    Usually, brand new spoilers are primed from factory and ready for painting (perfect smooth). However, the cheap ones might not meet this standard.
