Carbon Dash - air pockets in gelcoat

[Ryan]

Anyone else deal with this on these SLC carbon dash's? I am just curious if this is a common deal. This is after the dash has been painted and the soft touch coating applied. I noticed them when I first received the parts long ago, but when the parts are shiny they aren't as noticeable.

Here is a pic of the part cleared before the soft coatings was applied. They are noticeable, but the soft coating definitely magnifies them. Trust me they are there, but the gloss hides them much better.

Ryan, which soft touch brand are you using and what is your experience with it? I’m debating doing my GT40 dash and possibly other interior surfaces in black.

This stuff was purchased through www.reflectionsinpaint.com. it seemed to spray nice. but its all coming off due to the customer wanting to redo the carbon sections. I'll let you know how it sprays the 2nd time around, lol(actually crying inside)
