Nick;

In the Olde Days, glass greenhouses would be whitewashed (ie lime + water)  
in summer.

And then come autumn, the whitewash would be washed off with water.

I have no idea if whitewash will stick to glossy(?) fibreglass.

What you might do is, if you have some Calomine lotion in your medicine  
cabinet, dab a bit onto your panel to see if it sticks.
