Abstract
A process for painting a fiber reinforced composite plastic member. Prolonged pre-heating of the composite member is used to minimize defects in a subsequently applied clear resin finish coating. The finish coating is applied and curing of it commenced before the composite member has substantially cooled, effective to inhibit formation of pits and blisters in the clear finish coating, and delamination in pore areas beneath said clear finish coating.
