DA sand it with 320 (most aggressive grit).
Do NOT sand thru the gel coat if possible. Just sand it smooth and even 
leave some of the old paint it it's in good shape.

Any auto paint but with a flex agent added because it is fiberglass.
If there are spider cracks, coat with epoxy resin or check the local 
corvette guys to see what they use on glass bodys.
