[quote=HPCOBRA;1092026]I have an older (mid 90's) CR that has never been painted but is primerd. It has been bumped a little by the previous owner and has some spider cracks. What is the best way to fix these before repriming and painting?
Thanks[/QUOT
What do you mean by bumped a little? You need to find out if the cracks are just in the primer or in the gel coat. That means basically taking the primer off in the area. Then you can wipe the remaining gel coat down with Prep Sol or lacquer thinner and if there isn't any sign of the spider cracks you can re-prime. If you see the spider cracks in the gel coat you will have to sand down to the bare fiberglass and apply some spray on gel coat or epoxy primer to start back with. Hopefully the primer is just cheap or weathered and has shrunk up some and you can sand it off and re-prime.
