Excursion Barn Door Material

New to paint and body and getting ready to complete some body work and a full color change on a 2000 Ford Excursion.
Can anyone provide some guidance for the rear barn doors? What are they made out of? Safest way to get down to the primer. Would you use plastic adhesion promoter over the primer?
I appreciate any help!

Welcome to the EX forum!

All three sections of the rear doors and hatch are fiberglass, I don’t have any paint experience to share.

You shouldnt need to sand down to primer. Just scuff until smooth and use a good sealing primer. Sand and paint.

Thank you for your response and that will save me some time. Is it necessary to use any type of adhesion promoter?
