I see that the GC50 is used before laying up the carbon on high gloss parts. But what do you use to apply it? I think the easy composites gelcoat spraying cup gun is a bit expensive, is there other ways to apply it and still get a high gloss result? Can for example a plastic spray bottle be used?

For those that use the spray cup gun, how do you clean it after use?

Bah, where's the sense of adventure Dravis!? Tongue

Large parts are no more difficult to spray than small parts, in-fact in some cases a bonnet is much easier than a smaller more complex part. Of course, you wouldn't want to do it with a rattle can, you'd need a proper spray gun. But still... The only times I've ever run into trouble with my work is when I've got other people involved. I'm still paying for the last job I got a professional spray painter to do for me. Even highly reputed professionals cut corners sometimes. These days I do everything myself, to make sure it's done properly.
