Hi guys First post here and just in the process of information gathering before i take the plunge so any help will greatly be appreciated
I plan on making some small moulds of interior car parts that i can repeat (the usual kind of pieces bits of trim etc) I dont want to skin the parts as that is a permanent change and want to revert back if need be. Im looking for a nice high gloss shiny finish but not sure which is the best way to get it. Is there a preferred method depending on the application? I guess i will be doing the lay up method without a vacuum at the moment.
Also if i wanted to tint the finish would i be best adding this to a clear laquer and spraying or adding it to a clear gel coat from the get go
Many Thanks
