Hi, Can anyone recommend a paint type for the fiberglass top of the Cobra trailer? Looking to spray paint a couple coats of white paint followed by the clear coat. Thanks, GK




Your best bet is to use whatever the local guy that is going to spray it is used to.

5U has done a couple trailers and they look pretty nice. I think he is using the basecoat/ clearcoat method. Maybe he can ring in.

I have a fair bit of experience with PPG Concept(single stage AU). It is expensive and fairly nasty to be around requiring space suit and deicated breathing supply. It does come out nice though.

This is not a job that is worth trying to do yourself. Convince your local painter to let you do most of the prep and pay him to do the expert part. It will be money well spent.

Good Luck

Hank thx for comments but I don't want to do ANY of the work! ... I'm looking for an approx estimate on entire job (fiberglass top only).
