If you don't, there will be tons of pinholes that will show up right after you spray gel coat. It is good to prime and then board sand using a guide coat to be sure the sides are flat.

I am buying it from http://www.expresscomposites.com/dura...atec1.html. I would give them a call and talk with them.
