If you mean the back of your mould, can I ask you why you would like to have it painted? Because it's a cosmetic part (display tray) and needs a good finishing on both surfaces

Thats how I would do it or make a top and bottom mould. Maybe some other members have other ideas?! Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com

Sand down and a couple of heavy coats of lacquer would be how I go for a one off

Sand and lacquer or sand and thin coat of resin are the two simplest methods.
