I plan to defer painting until I have flown a bit, and then have it done professionally. The question is whether to put a coat of UV SmoothPrime on the fiberglass parts as temporary protection. Will a professional paint shop have a problem with this when the time comes for the final paint job?

That should not be a problem. Filling the pinholes before flying would assure that oil and stuff doesn't get trapped in the pinholes.

That’s what I did, no problems whatsoever. Looks a lot nicer too!

A Lancair 4 builder at the airpark used SmoothPrime for protection during
construction. He would do all the body work, then coat/sand the SmoothPrime
until satisfied. The last step was to add another coat of SmoothPrime on
top but then not sand it. The final sanding would then be just before
paint.
If you are going to fly before paint then recommend you do all the
SmoothPrime/sand applications you want but the last step would be to use an
epoxy primer on top. What I learned with SmoothPrime on my plane is it
takes several days for this water based product to really cure - and then
never wet sand it. SmoothPrime is not designed to withstand the elements.
For the next airplane I'll most likely not use SmoothPrime. Instead I'll
use PPG filler primers (K36 and K38) after surface prep.
