Help with Epoxy paint

[fish_4_all]

Alright, will someone explain to me how you paint with Epoxy? I know I may be showing my ignorance here but the only epoxy I have ever used was 2 part and I only get a max of 30 minutes to paint with it. I have a jig turner that will turn 2 jigs at one time so I would be wasting a ton of epoxy to paint with it. Do I need to make or buy a jig turner or can you paint 2 at a time and not have the rest turn hard in the process?

What are y'all using that you can paint so many with it? And please be specific. I want to switch over to using a lot of lead free stuff before the bans hit here and I need a good way to paint them.

Also, I assume the reason for using epoxy paint is because it is tough and won't/most likely won't chip. And I hate it when my paint chips off so I will be using this on many other things I paint if I can get it to work.

Also, do you need to put an epoxy coat over lacquer to make it durable or not? Or is it more for the gloss effect?
