I am starting a company making longboards and figuring out best mfg processes. There is a closed cell polyurethane foam core with cast urethane bumpers surrounding the entire rail (edges/sides). I wish to have a carbon top and bottom, both with a glossy finish. Sides will be cnc machined so no carbon will touch in the final project, however it is fine if it does still. Ideally I want production times at an absolute peak, so infusing both the top and bottom layer in one operation would be ideal. I would be okay with clearcoat sprayed for a glossy finish if that works, however one operation is of upmost importance.
Any tips or pointers for this?

Double sided finish in one shot really means you need to be working with compression rather than vacuum, which means either RTM or pre-preg. Very very difficult to do with infusion, as you need...
