   The obvious answer is...follow manufacturer's recommendations. If they're new, the instructions should be on the door somewhere. Maybe a sticker on the top of the door.

   I did a fiberglass Thermatru door a couple of years ago.  I'm pretty sure they (meaning The Thermatru people) recommended 100 % acrylic with no primer.

   To be safe, as others have said, check with your manufacturer.

   Here's a thread I started on this topic a few months ago:http://forums.taunton.com/tp-breaktime/messages/?msg=121447.1I learned ALOT from the thread. If you want specifics of the primer I used, let me know. But as others have said- go with manufactureres recommendations. Are these doors virgin or repaints?

   Look into Sherwin Williams bonding primer.  It's tenacious stuff.  And be sure to clean the fiberglass very well.  Scuff-sanding would be a good idea too.
