Great site! usually, the first sign of trouble is a cloudy look to the frame. My Origin8 frame sat in the shop window for a while before I built it up and it has a few cloudy spots. We've used 303 on Masts, Spin poles, and Steering Wheels on our sailboats for awhile and it seems to hold up for a month or so. Pretty much any local auto body shop can shoot a coat of PPG UV clearcoat on a frame. Just make sure that the shop has experience with carbon stuff. If they sand too deep, it's a big mess and looks like crap.
