Thanks. The canopy plug has been painted with Klasscoat epoxy paint. Very simular to the old K&B epoxy paints. The next step is to wax the plug with Part All wax then apply a coat of PVA mold release. A surface coat of resin with black tint will be brushed on and when dry a layer of 2 oz cloth followed by 4 layers of 6 oz cloth. The mold will then be pulled from the plug and be ready to use for the actual part production. When I designed the canopy I used a canopy off a Comp ARF Extra 330 3M to make what would be the clear section. If I decide to go clear rather then paint I can just order a Comp ARF canopy and fit in the same fashion as they do.
