What is a good primer to use on fiberglass?

[Lonepiper]

I know I can get primer here on iboats, but I really hate paying the shipping cost overhead. So I was wondering if there is a more generally available primer that could be substituted instead. Something from one of the big hardware chains maybe?

Thanks

decide on paint to use first ...then read the can.
It'll say whether it needs primer and which type.

I have always kept the primer and the top coat the same brand.
It is not good to be mixing the type and brand of primer and top paint.
And use the recommended thinner/reducer by the same manufacturer.
Just place one order and get it all.
