Dear friends,
I need help about using true material for my carbon fibre jobs. I am living in turkey and i dont have much option for materials. Lots of brands couldnt be found here. There is a chemical company which sells carbon clothes and chemicals. 
I am skinning some of my cars parts. Mirror caps, door handles, interior trims etc.. Not moulding or infusion. When i train myself and learning about carbon fiber techniques, i used clear epoxy and resin. But soon, i have learned that these resin and hardener is used for hobby purposes, like jewelry. Then i bought some professional one, propox LH300. Resin was clear but hardener was amber color and smells very bad. Anyway, i finish my part with propox. Then, i realized that part looks yellowish shade, esppecially in sunlight. I though that something is wrong. I have contacted with this chemical company, explained the problem and they send me a different product. MGS hexion L285. But its color is blue. If i use mgs,my parts finish will be blue shade. The company said to me that they dont have a clear type and insisted that this is true product for carbon fibre jobs. 
I dont know what i will do, need your helps.

Its hard to tell in white containers but some epoxy resins look blue/purple in colour in the bottle due to UV additives.  eg our XCR in the picture below looks quite purple but when laminated you don't see it.

MGS Hexiom L285 is a good product, I've used it before because it is one of very few resins that are approved for use on gliders. The blue colour is a tint they use so you can see it has been mixed properly. Once mixed, it is a very light shade of blue that you won't be able to see on carbon unless it is extremely resin rich.
