Development of carbon fiber reinforces plastic (CFRP) panel overcoating and polishing is structured in two parts. The first part utilized a short series of experiments to determine the feasibility of overcoating and polishing CFRP panels, and the second part employes a systematic approach to optimize techniques learned. Questions which required answers in the initial investigation are summarized. Tests were performedin the Steward Observatory's 2.2 Meter Vacuum Coating Chamber and began with 3 cm square pieces of CFRP facesheet material. Next, a 10 cm square and one-inch-thick CFPR-Aluminum core panel was tested. Tests were then conducted on a 0.5-meter-square Dornier panel (QUAD 4) with CFRP facesheets on two-inch aluminum Flexcore. To complete the initial study, a previously characterized 0.5 m Dornier panel (QUAD 23) was coated and hand polished. The mirror's optical performance was not affected by the SiO coating.
