Default 63 interior

Has anybody painted the roof header panel? The material looks like fiberglass in the back but the front looks like some kind of plastic. I'm not sure what kind of prep and primer to use on this.
Thanks,
Bill

All fiberglas piece-----proper prep and paint would be in order. However I used interior paint on mine.

Because it appears there are many layers of paint, I'd strip it and start fresh.
