Dear All,
I would like to know how to clear coat a piece made by carbon fibre. Reading through the products descriptions, I didn't find any product that could be sprayed over a finished part in order to get a better finish (for instance, if you end up with a matte finnish, you could spray a clear coat and make it glossy).
I read, that the people from Easy Composites, recommend laquer to do so, but I would like to know which kind of laquer would be the best: normal laquer for wood applications, polyurethane laquer...
Thanks for your attention and help!

Any automotive coating will be fine. 2 pack polyurethane will give the best results, but I would caution you against it if you dont have the proper safety equipment.

As above any good quality automotive lacquer due to the hardness and also the high level of UV protection. We always prefer 2 pack professionally sprayed paints as the results are always better as is the quality of the lacquers themselves.
