Sounds sexy doesnt it? All I mean is, by having the presence of a paint coat against the mold, the subsequent cloth layup can be very lean in terms of resin saturation because there is no concern of exposed pinholes. This can be accomplished by aggressive squeegee action, or by vacuum bagging through a perforated film like peel ply and a bleeder. This is desirable for the lowest weight layup without compromising strength. If pull excess resin out with just cloth against the mold, you risk exposed pinholes as an end result since the resin is not contained between the cloth strands.
