painting fiberglass windows

I just installed a Marvin Integrity fiberglass exterior / wood interior window. I know you can paint fiberglass windows and I'd like to paint the exterior, but have had no luck finding out the proper way to prep/prime them. Even found a post on the topic here but it never got around to actually giving the details. So what's the process?

I don't know the process however I'd like to know the answer as well.

You can post a question on yahoo answers also sometimes that works for me.

Call Marvin.

It is probably no different than painting any rigid substrate.
