no, just brush it on, 1 part no mixing. Just pour a small amount into a seperate container and brush on (or spray on). I do my finishing in basement, so fumes and flammability could pose a problem.
you can also get pigments to use in the clear coat to colorize it. With an epoxy prime then primer, paint and a top coat of epoxy the plug comes out pretty bulletproof. Just alot of steps.
