Default Best paint for Fibreglass


Hi

Two Newbie questions.

1. I want to do my first attempt at spraying a Fibreglass cowl. I hear that epoxy paint is the most fuel proof but heavy. Could I use normal auto paint with a Poly urethane clear coat. Will this also be fuel proof for glo fuel. Is epoxy really that much heavier than auto paints if I keep the layers light. I like the idea of the hard finish of epoxy but dont like the risk of clogging my airbrush. What should I use

2. I hear that Fibreglass weeps. Should I spray inside of the cowl as well.

thanks
