I have been contemplating some of the old Naish sups and recent Freedom foil boards (see attached) built with carbon and finished with partically sanded colored coatings.
Also, I was wondering what would be the best way to get this finish on a EPS/epoxy/carbon contruction.
I did manage to get something similar in the past by spray painting some color on top of the carbon, sand it a little and then gel coat on top, but the latter was not sticking very well if I remember correctly.
Would a double gel coat (one colored) one clear with partial sanding in between would do the trick?
If yes, how heavy can I go with pigments in my epoxy gel coat?
This is a way to do. Can use how much pigment as you need. Alternative is to lightly paint and water sand. This is how it’s do on painted sandwich build. They first do it to reduce weight then it became a standard look.
