What type of stain would you use to refinish a fiberglass door that is peeling?
Fiberglass won't take stain. You need to get all the flaking paint off, scuff the surface and then paint with an enamel type paint. A yacht supply store will set you up.
What kind of paint should you use to paint the stainless steel deck of a Kayak pool?

What kind of paint should you use on fiberglass pool stairs?
They have special paint just for pools, one that will hold up under the water. For pool steps use a non skid pool paint, or if you can not find any non skid you can add some silica sand to the paint container. Any Paint supply store should have it and some homecenters.
Do you need to paint fiberglass door?
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.

Does fibreglass need a special type of paint?
Fiberglass does not require a special type of paint, but the application you're using it for might. If the fiberglass to be painted is an auto-body part, for example, you'll want to use the proper lacquer-based paints, as they're more durable for the conditions a car has to suffer through.

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.
