Default Best paint for fiberglass (NOT aluminum)

Hi all-
Searched paint posts but didn't find anything that specifically addresses this question: I am planning to polish my plane, so other than possibly some trim lines, all paint will be on fiberglass (old school RV4 gelcoat cowl, etc). I am curious if there is a primer/paint system that would be relatively better (= cheaper or easier) as compared to a system that is going on aluminum as well?
Eric

Any good quality aircraft paint is equally right at home on glass as it is on aluminum.
