Do I need to paint each piece separately, or can I assemble first?

Paint each piece separately before installation. This ensures even coverage on all edges and surfaces, prevents overspray inside panel gaps, and makes handling easier during the finish process.

What prep is required before painting?

Sand and prep all surfaces with appropriate grit sandpaper to create adhesion for primer and paint. FRP benefits from light sanding to open the surface. Follow your paint system manufacturer's guidelines for primer selection and application.

Will these pieces fit without modification?

FRP panels are molded to exact specifications for proper alignment. Test fit each component before painting to identify any gaps or areas requiring minor trimming. Some fitment variance is normal with fiberglass — plan for final shaping during installation.
