After some info on carbon skinning mainly what people use as the 'basecoat' is it possible to use polyester resin or gel coat as the first layer for which the carbon is placed upon?

Also which type of cloth is easier to work with 1x1 or twill weave 2x2?

Thanks for any help!

Done an overlay with polyester followed by clear coat, doesnt look too bad in dayligt yet when i take pictures with the flash you can see misting is this due to poor quality resin or just where he resin is too thick, also would this problem be none exsitant using decent epoxy?

Heres a couple of pics:
