painting a fiberglass leer cap and replacing windows

I just purchased a fiberglass leer cap for my truck, an old '86 F-250.

I need to replace one side window, and 1 panel from the "front" slider window and was thinking of painting it.

Any suggestions on methods?

Thanks!

Greg

I am not sure of the correct answer for you. I painted a fiberglass side car for a motorcycle. I sanded it and cleaned it, and then painted it with an epoxy primer. Then I used single stage paint over it. Seems ok after about a year. That is the only fiberglass I have worked with. You might want to contact Leer to see what paint they use and what would be compatible. Good luck with it.

I purchase an A.R.E top for my truck back in 2002. The color was white and I wanted it the arizona beige. I took the top to the body shop man and paid him to paint the color I wanted. Cost me $150.00

Thanks to both of you.

Once I get the windows fixed, I'll probably take it in.
