How long is the epoxy going to last though  does it say on the tin 

hmm..I experienced a whole year with an already opened bottle.. (hardener may not survive that long)
 
and unopened botlle may survive very long.. opened bottles/cans depend on the bottle and room temperature imo..
 
and interesting experience; last time when I painted the home door there was some extra mixture left with hardener already in it.. it kept nearly 25 days without hardening.. spec sheet says expoxy application above 12 celcius.. this must be reason for late hardening imo..

Does your supplier deliver to UK or where I can get it delivered to UK?

EMD and SMD should get together for a epoxy spraying session

opps
 
you can apply it in good weather (not rainy and above 12 celcius) and at an avg temperature of 18 celcius it will dry in first 16 hours but for it to be complete (not soft) you need 2-3 days.. I assume you apply 3 layers..
 
use some mask..

Usual rear lower door corners and wheel arches + a few scars , tbh it needs the bottom half up respraying and was thinking maybe a diy job up to the middle door trims in a different colour ... seen it done before but will look further into it

thanks EMD.. finally today my stress end up..
 
spent many hours.. so had to be good.. cant do it again.. but honestly paint jobs depends also on a bit of luck..
 
even the dusts create problem.. although paint cabins are relatively clean.. not as clean as I desire
