The primer should do fine and won't really be affected by oils and contamanents per se but if there are pin holes (and who doesn't have a boat laod of them?), oil and other cooties can be trapped there. If you decide to fly in primer, you'd REALLY want to scrub it down with hot soap and water a couple of times and be prepared to spot prime. Then sand and you're set. The primer is softer and more prone to damage than the gloss but it's still pretty tough stuff. Dan Newland
