Can it be done without looking guff?
I've had smaller bits done in the past, but they had loads of pin ****** in them when the paint set

Yep, colour coded sonic blue 74f

I can do either but obviously colour coding is easier due to being able to fill air holes with normal filler because of the primer/colour base to hide it.
It's a little bit tricky when everything will be on show when just clear coating and you have a hole,but I have my ways of getting round it

Ryan you can say that again, the bain of my life is the dreaded pinhole!!!!

It really is a hit and miss thing tbh, can happen even when using prepreg. We all have our little secrets on how to deal with these. im in the process of talking to a company about developing a wipe on wipe off clear colourless pinhole filler...

To colour code the roof would be £200+VAT mate

Chris:that clear wipe on/off filler would be great for carbon pin holes,give me a shout on the details mate

ive to send some carbon samples off so the company can do some testing, hopefully going to do a deal with them on us being the sole uk distributor, i know its a massive headache for lots and lots of refinishers and carbon manufacturers. cha ching!
