There is no need to prime fiberglass during the build process. When it is time for your topcoat, yes, you do want to scuff the gelcoat and prime before painting if no other work is required on the fiberglass parts.
So just to be clear on this, if no additional fiberglass work was necessary on the part, the gel coat is scuffed up and then shot with primer, then color. That is to say, I can not just scuff up the gel coat, skip the primer, then shoot the color?

When you shoot your top coat over unprimed gel coat, the finished result is a different color than the rest of the aircraft. Yes there is a very slight difference in color.
