Hi,

Can your Epoxy Coating Resin be sprayed with a spray gun?

If affirmative, what nozzle should i use? 2,5mm?

Hi, Matt

Thanks for your quick anwser.

My intention to spraying the clear coat is to get the pieces to be finished right after the resin cures.

If the resin is brushed, have to be sanded and polished.

Using the gelcoat spray gun to apply the resin, with the #6 nozzle(4.7mm), it will be smooth, or it will be irregular and i´ve got to sand/polish it too?

Hi Pedro,

If your plan is to use the Epoxy Coating Resin as a sort of clear coat then you would be much better off actually using clear coat (lacquer). I would recommend a 2k PU or acrylic lacquer, sprayed through a normal gun. This will give you a better clear finish than spraying the epoxy coating resin and will provide UV stability too.

All the best, Matt
