Fiberglass Holds paint Very Well,<br />As long as it's been Sanded........<br /><br />How you apply the paint is Your Choice.......

Either 80grit or 120 grit in a powersander.....<br />It's the fine Scratches that Hold the paint........

Funny you should mention YELLOW. Powerboat Reports recently finished their testing of marine paints. All of the yellow marine paints faded beyond their acceptability. One yellow paint whipped snot on the entire group of marine yellow paints…Rust-oleum. It’s commonly available in a spray can, too. Their conclusion: either don’t paint yellow or if you just have to, go with el-cheapo Rust-oleum.
