: Btw, what's the finish?

Bill,

It's Interlux 2 part polyurethane, Jet Black, rolled on with a West Systems 1/8" foam roller, tipped with a cheap foam brush from Menards. I still have to wet sand it and give it one more coat, I had a few little sags, overall it looks OK though. The CF cockpit rim and thigh braces and the CF cockpit bucket are protected with Interlux Perfection Plus 2 part varnish. I have a supplied air respirator I always use even though the deadly stuff is supposed to stay in solution if you don't spray. I still don't trust it any other way though!
