    Old post, but there is new info on the subject.

    All of the Duratec products are epoxy compatible both in-mold and post applied. They have primers and high gloss in-mold coatings that are used just like a gel coat. One advantage is that they can be sprayed much thinner than typical gel coat, instead of 18-20 mils you only need 8-10 mils. The line of in-mold products was recently updated for better in-mold performance (more user friendly), this includes the clear and pigments versions.
