For your next panels, A small paint roller makes the resin spread easier and flater(less sanding) might be cheaper to and lighter to use less resin and do a clear spray instead. I’m a aircraft mechanic who deals with carbon/Kevlar on a daily basis. You did a good job !

@@Gborohooo yeah I would sand it down like normal, probably 120 grit, then go over it with a scotch brite sanding pad to be sure every low spot also is sanded and not shiny at all. then apply 2 or 3 coats of clear coat. Inspect the surface. Cut (sand) with 1500g, and check to see if the sanding is indeed cutting nice (no more low spots). If it's good, then go 2000g, then 3000g, 5000g, then 8000g. Then polish it out till it a mirror. Before any polishing, make sure there aren't any low spots. If there are, you maby need to do a flow coat of clear (more layers of clear) to get it just right. Then cut n buff it.

I have just finished skinning my car interiors trims using this XCR resin and have to say it is great stuff however some things I found out during this journey. Car parts need to be post cured before the final flat and polish and secondly although you don't need to lacquer the part lacquering gives a way better finish. I polished some of my interior trims similar to what you did and some of the trim I gave it it my bodyshop to put two or three coats of 2K lacquer and the finish of those pieces is far superior to the rest so now I am going to get them lacquered too.
@garyengland5326
@garyengland5326 4 жыл бұрын

The last thing you want is it flacking off on those low spots that you didn’t scuff/sand. UC resins are good but just dont trust them. I always spray a 2k clear on top. But it looks really good man.

How hard is it to work the carbon in tight area’s? Turned out great for your first time!

Honestly not that hard. It’s a simple part fortunately. As long as the basecoat is at the right point where it’s nice and tacky you’ll be fine. The cloth I used isn’t too thick, so it takes the shape easily. For anything more complicated I’d use a vacuum bag for sure.

So is the metal wing still underneath? 🤔, never seen you take it away

Yup, it's underneath...but it's not metal. It's fibreglass.

My experience with composites. A fiberglass mold of the fender would’ve shown more detail.
