The proper way to fix fiberglass is one of two options, cut out everything that's cracked and lay more fiberglass inside the area. Or second option is to cut it out, and fill it over with dura-glass/kitty hair/tiger hair. Depending on the size of the repair.

Just to prep it for paint, you should follow the paint manufacturers recommendations for substrate preparation. If you don't know what they are, I would wetsand with 600 to get it super smooth.
