The obvious answer is...follow manufacturer's recommendations. If they're new, the instructions should be on the door somewhere. Maybe a sticker on the top of the door.
I did a fiberglass Thermatru door a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure they (meaning The Thermatru people) recommended 100 % acrylic with no primer.
To be safe, as others have said, check with your manufacturer.
Here's a thread I started on this topic a few months ago:http://forums.taunton.com/tp-breaktime/messages/?msg=121447.1I learned ALOT from the thread. If you want specifics of the primer I used, let me know. But as others have said- go with manufactureres recommendations. Are these doors virgin or repaints?

Whoops! That's THIS thread! Ends up like a continuous loop............LOL,View Image
Look into Sherwin Williams bonding primer. It's tenacious stuff. And be sure to clean the fiberglass very well. Scuff-sanding would be a good idea too.
Ooops- is right. Like a bad feedback loop.Edited and should be fixed now.
