Hi guys,
I am currently in the process of creating some patterns using your
High Density Polyurethane Foam
. I am planning to take them to a high gloss finish that is reasonably rugged and will withstand several moulds being duplicated off it.
I will take them to a paint shop to have to 2k primer filler applied and get it to a gloss finish as i don't have good enough equipment for 2k paint. Is it possible for the paint shop to get the finish i want just using 2k filler primer?
Secondly how should i prepare the foam for them? Should i coat it in a thin layer of FG tissue and resin or will it be fine bringing it to them showing foam?
I'm just look to sort out any issues before i look around for a good body shop to do the work. As i will need it done relatively quickly once the foam is done.
Thanks,
Dave.
