I'm a complete newb at this but I'm getting everything together now to start practicing and it isn't cheap so I want to get it right.
I'm planning on making a sunroof bung for my car to start with so I want to get a nice glossy finish on the outside facing side.

So shall I do it the same as the video and use gc50 gelcoat with the cup gun sprayed on the mould b4 laying the carbon ?

Or should I clear coat the part after the infusion?
because from what iv read its abit more fail safe way for a newb

Is clear coating just literally laquering the part like a normal body panel?
 Or if there's another way I haven't mentioned 

Thank you for any help
