Default painting fiberglass vs stock panels

Will I get an uneven color and shine if I paint the fiberglass hood and stock body panels with the same color? Do I need to prep it different. I'd like a nice even black gloss paint across the whole car.

Bumpers and fenders are plastic, doors hatches spoilers sail panels and slp hoods are smc, and quarters panels and sleek hoods are steel. Not much you can do other than avoid excessive wiping of the plastic and smc panel because they with generate static cling and cause dirt problems.
