I'm planning to have a first go at clear coating one or two small  pre-preg parts that have turned out with moderate pin-holing and smallish surface voids

I was considering coating the affected areas with epoxy, flatting back with medium grit paper and then spraying. 

Can anyone recomnend a tried and trusted 2k paint system and the size range of gun nozzle I should be looking at for good results?

Thanks

Mark

These guys are obviously importing Duratec products to the UK so they should be able to get it for you?

It's pretty good and can come up ok off the gun with the MEK thinners they recommend. It can also be cut and polished and is UV where your epoxies alone are not UV stable.

             Hi Mark, Sorry to dig up an old post. Did you ever get hold of duratec sunshield in the UK? If not many find an alternative? Sounds such a great product at filling pin holes!

                 Wow, that was a thread revival No, I didn't, as the UK Distributor (AOC resins) didn't seem keen on importing any at the time. That said, feedback on it from reliable sources on here seemed to...
