Sermersheim Fiberglass

[fine69]

My replacement front lower valance arrived today.

It's made by Sermersheim and interestingly enough, it all black and glossy. I am not sure if this a gel coat. I do not believe rest of the car is gel coated.

Is there any special prep required for Sermersheim fiberglass parts? I want to be sure that I obtain proper adhesion, etc.

Yeah- I don't see brand new fiberglass very often either!

Scuff it up with 400 sand paper and smooth out the edges around the openings.

Should be good to go!

Looks like it. Call Sermersheim and ask.

Factory fiberglass was not gelcoated.
