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

The Duratec Sunshield stuff sounds great, but I don't think it's available here in the UK. I had thought that it could be used in lieu of applying an automotive clear coat on top, though, but I get the impression it's just useful as a surface primer?

I don't tend to find flatting back coating epoxy too bad in small areas, but getting a decent application with a brush is difficult which seems to lead to problems getting a uniform gloss finish on whole parts without re-coating a few times.

I've seen this product and it sounds like it might be a good primer, if nothing else, but wondered if it was suitable as a topcoat assuming that pinholes had been filled and the surface suitably keyed beforehand?

Anyone used it or can recommend a decent 2k clear topcoat?

Cheers
