Generally the fibreglass canopy's arn't painted. If yours is it is most likelly a steel canopy.

i would spray a primer over the top as the solvent in acrylic piant tends to bite in it will probably react. causing fry ups.

there is a fiberglass primer and paint you can buy. just go to a boat place and ask them where you can get it.
