Prepping the fiberglass pieces for paint

[webshot]

Is there a drastically different process for preparing the fiber glass pieces for paint (like the skirts)? I want to take the initiative and start doing some of the prep-work myself while all the pieces are off. Is this not a good idea?

It is a good idea if the pieces have already been fitted and reinstal easily without prying and scraping. I had to do mine while on car. I got a horrible kit to work with and took me 3 days just to install. Everything was much smaller than the car.

By the way, do your best not to scrap or sand into the gel coat to much.

well these pieces are off the exact same car and some were off the original car. Going to prep all my pieces but worry about the fiberglass. ANy links to some techniques or recommended readings?
