Autobody paint shops want to charge me an arm and a leg to have parts coated in urethane clear coat. Is using something like GC50 (https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/clearpol-iso-npg-clear-polyester-gelcoat) going to be comparable to urethane clear coats?

For reference, I'm skinning parts with 2x2 carbon fiber and need UV protection (which the GC50 says it can handle).

If anyone knows of any alternatives to my predicament, please let me know Smile

Urethane clear coats also scare me because of the toxins. Are there other clear coats that anyone can suggest? Anything with a deep gloss and uv protection without having to worry putting myself in danger.
