I'm about ready to tackle my first Corvette paint task, not the whole car. I want to repaint the rockers, door moulding and mirrors due to the rock pits and thoughtless people .
I've painted before, just not on fiberglass. Do I need to add flex additive? Better yet, what steps should I take as fiberglass is completely new to me.

Thanks,

Tom

No need for flex additive except on the bumpers. You may want to investigate what primers work best for plastic cars. That is pretty much the extent of my paint knowledge although my brother is a painter and my BIL owns a body shop so if you have any specific questions I will try to get you an answer.
