Fiberglass is dangerous. You have to have a confined set-up to work with it and spray it in a waterfall booth. This is so that the water catches the fibers in a drain and doesn't release them to the environment You can either paint it or woodgrain it. If you want to paint it, just prime it and paint it like it was a steel door. Woodgraining the door requires gel stain and a graining tool. The Zar brand does a lot of advertising on HGTV (well, at least they did) to claim it has the only system to use to woodgrain a fiberglass or steel entry door, but there are several gel stain systems out there and all of them work.

What paint should be used on fiberglass boat hulls?
You can use any type of automotive paint you want. The key to a good fiberglass paint job is the preparation. Sanding and filling the gelcoat is the hard part. If it isn't a new truck box, thorough cleaning to remove grease and dirt is essential. If it is new, you need to fully cure it as discussed below. When sanding the gelcoat, make sure not to sand through to the fiberglass (if you do, fill and resand.) Select a primer designed for the paint you have selected. Warning about dark colors: they will cause the fiberglass resin to cure and shrink. If you are going to use a dark color, you want to bake the box in direct sun for at least a week, rotating it to give all sides direct sunlight. A light coat of flat black paint (which you will sand off) may help with the curing. If you have access to a large oven, that's even better. Expect to have to adjust the fit of the parts to compensate for shrinkage. A custom car shop that hangs and paints fiberglass bodies should know how to do the job right. Custom marine builders and repair shops should have plenty of experience painting fiberglass also.
