I finish of parts with a layer of coating resin applied to a cured and sanded part. could i paint the part with a spray can ( car paint ?) then sand and coat with coating resin and get a good result?
if so do i need a specific type of paint.
I do not have a compressor etc.
thanks
ben

So you want to have the best finish ? Glossy etc? The best way is to coat part with resin, then sand smooth and spray automotive can clearcoat
No, i want a painted design under the coating resin. In the past i have only coated onto wood or carbon or cloth but never onto a painted surface, will it work , what paints are good what to avoid ?

I see, so best way to do it is to paint your pattern on the cured element and then coat it again with resin or some clearcoat

It should work by painting it and then coat it with a coating resin... but a good hint I can give you is test it out on a scrap-part before doing the real job.
I've seen some spraypaints reacting with an epoxyresin (causing the spraypaint to bubble)
