Question ANOTHER NCP ?

Ok, I have this 1201M I'm doin for a friend. He wants blue/gold. Ok I tell him I don't prefer CP on overwraps for epoxy penetration. So I go outside the box I look at the NCP color chart. Compare colors and find Royal Blue Gudebrod. Do a sample wrap of other blues (nylon) along w/ NCPblue. The nylons were too dark but the NCP was perfect. One catch, the first coat pills up like a bad hair day. I say now what. Once cured the finsih looks like 50 grit sandpaper. Well let's put a heavy second coat over. Looks perfect, smooth and has depth. I did the rod but instead of doing a big glob of epoxy I wet sanded lightly w/ 400 grit w/d paper to knock off the high peaks. Put on my normal second coat and you'd never know what was there b/4. Now after this long winded post, has any one had this occur when using Gudebrod? Why the question because I did use occassionally Pac bay Stay true w/o this pilling up.
