Hi there,

So I am making carbon parts for my motocycle. It goes well, but I really don't get the finish properly. Basically, after the de-moulding, I sand the whole thing (as my mold can still improve) and then put a glazing surface of UV clear epoxy (OK, not an easy composite product cause I did not know easy composite when I bought it !). Thing is that I work at OK temperature (well, it's cold in my garage but I use a heater right next to the part), and do the glazing using a brush....and it never workds out as I always have some brush marks on the part. It's never super smooth. So is the use of a paint gun the only really good way to go ?

Thanks !
