Jack,
Mine got two coats of catalyzed epoxy primer and a guide coat, then blocked to ID low's which were filed with body filler & finish sanded. Once "ready" it got two coats of epoxy primer, blocked w/ 500grit, then base & clear. I thought the epoxy primer would do the trick, and when I talked to the guy who made the body about extending the hood he never mentioned needing to gel-coat new glass, even when I called him after it revealed the edges.
