How to overlay REAL Carbon Fibre on your roof - Wrapping or Skinning

[@youtuberAstar]

Someone who actually knows what he is doing for a change! Very good tutorial. Thank you.

[@nickd3251]

Can you post a list of materials? Especially the epoxy resin/hardener mix so we know what to buy and where to get it?

[@HappyPappynKatyTX]

Awesome job. Working with cf is a lot of work. One mistake has big consequences. Great job. I look forward to seeing more. Thanks

[@GRPLiningServices]

That's a lot of effort to go to but the end result looks really good. Carbon is such an attractive material.

[@scottadkins918]

Question, did you lay the epoxy with the black pigment first just for the color?

[@monstrositygarage]

I'd like to see some more carbon work. Particularly more outside panels, and carbon replacement panels not just skinning. I'd like to know how resin infusion would be incorporated in outside panels. my guess would be to make a mould of the body section with fiberglass of the piece you want made carbon then infuse it off of the car. I'm tossing around ideas of replacing my quarters and roof with carbon fiber panels. I like the way you sculpt things and would like to see it attempted by you. Keep up the good work.

[@joshuajames9673]

Did you use something like clear packing tape to get sharp borders lateral to the carbon fiber skin? If so, any special methods employed to remove it? Any idea how long something like this might last on a daily driver?

[@lcotton7779]

Thanks for making this video. I have never done any carbon fiber skinning but I'm about to change that. I feel confident about the flat surfaces (thankfully most the pieces are). The problem I'm facing is the complex 90 degree angles at the ends of the dash at the door. Any suggestions on how to make it look seamless?

[@pwm24]

Jerry Hoover 90 degree angles are going to be near impossible without being under vacuum. Also ply thickness will determine a lot as well.

Hi, first of all great video and great job explaining everything, looks great. I have a little bit of experience with carbon fiber. I did a very successful armrest for my car and a couple of other pieces. I'm currently working on redoing my dashboard on my car in carbon fiber. I'm using the vacuum infusion method, which I've done once before. Currently, The plan is to do the entire interior in CF. But, after that I would like to do the outside as well, (since the paint job is shot) but I'm worried about doing the side panels, etc., due to gravity pulling the resin and creating runs etc... I was thinking of doing some type of vacuum bagging for the outside and just do each panel individually of course. Any advice?

[@S1KRYD]

Yes you are on the right track. If you can vacuum bag this will be good. Make sure you put down 5 or more coats of the clear resin because the bag is likely going to create creases in your work that you will need to sand out.

[@THEOGGUNSHOW]

Great, thanks buddy.

[@Labios_Rotos]

How long do you have to wait before you can wash your car after you polish/apply clear coat ? How long does this cf maintain its appearance for?

[@S1KRYD]

I would wait 2 weeks after a new paint job before washing your car. The carbon will maintain its appearance forever provided you use UV resistant clear coat.

[@diazjonathan446]

where did you get that big role of carbon fiber

[@petermuniz9296]

How long does it take? I know wrap takes like an hour or two.

[@damesbrown1207]

Do you plan on wrapping the rest of the car in carbon fiber material. I love this car it looks amazing by the way.

[@ParrotR34]

thanks! you've just saved me around £900!

[@DevilsKnyte]

Dude this is amazing. What year was the donor car? Do you have any before pics or vids that show before you started all the work?

[@88supra719]

Is that an Enzo supra

[@aaronmatharu8210]

What type of resin do you use? Would polyester resin work?

[@GnarlsFarls]

that is so nice, great job

[@hectorflores8735]

what do you use for the base coat? i wanted to do my whole roof but i hear some adhesives are weak and carbon starts to lift up.

[@temprmj1]

Hi, I guess spraying the 3 coats of 2 pot clear was the final step?

[@MatsOland]

Stunning!

[@dailystruggletv5403]

nice work and thx for the video it helps alot

[@MaxQscience]

very interesting and informative video, thank you for sharing

[@ramonemiliocapellan7445]

Eso esta genial es el mejor tutorial k haya visto

[@Huseyinyildiz36]

Good work 🙋🙋🙋👍👍👍

[@AgoNart]

Hello mate. Like your videos, supra looks pretty good. Really like the shape of sides especialy from doors to back! But i wanted to ask you what kind of clay did you use? Im going to make bodykit on my Nissan RPS13 and little hint would be helpful. Cheers and thanks for answer. Have a nice day! Peter from Czech Rep.

[@S1KRYD]

Hi Mate. The clay you are looking for is potters clay.

[@AgoNart]

Thanks! i already noticed same question bit above mine comment.Anyway thanks again! Hope to see more from you soon :)

[@Mr.Bearded.Mechanic]

Isn't it necessary to remove all air from epoxy and fiber? Just curious, because I see a lot of video where people using vacuum.

[@S1KRYD]

Yes vacuum is best. But this video is for the average person with out that gear. Heating the resin with an air gun is sufficient for this kind of work.

[@Mr.Bearded.Mechanic]

S1KRYD I see thanks :)

[@ahyaahmad]

Hi will this process work on regular hood i mean metal hood if we take paint of sand it and prep it. Thanks

[@S1KRYD]

Yes this would work. But you will want to over lap the fiberglass a good distance onto the metal panel. 30cm if you can. this will give it lots of grip.

[@gxexrxmxaxnx]

11:00 "Use the wifes hair dryer to..." That sounds so funny :D

[@MythicGuitarCompany]

that's awesome, man...

[@ernielin3614]

These vids are amazing

[@carbonfiberworld3043]

Which balloon do you use?

[@raulgutierrez3730]

Amazing thank you !

[@Dc-bi4ov]

hi I have a question what is the black stuff u used as base coat ???

[@monstrositygarage]

+Dallas Cerda gel coat

[@vaughancameron8155]

Hi, what quantity of epoxy do you use per sq meter?

[@S1KRYD]

If I remember correctly I used 150 grams for each coat on this stripe down the middle which would be about 3/5 of a square meter. Most of it then got sanded off. I would add more than less. Don't skimp on it or you will pay the price.

[@michaelpetty1639]

Nice work what car is that

[@S1KRYD]

It is now what people on KZbin named this concept. JZ Cobra. But a supra was used as the donor car.

[@BlazinNSoul]

Some pretty bad ass stuff my man. Wanting to have this done with my sub box. It's fiberglass but having some issues with spider cracks. Due to our temperature extremes in my neck of the woods. Likely was the cause of this. Would pay someone to do my box but would be a bitch to do I imagine, just saying.

[@aliabul7577]

How much did it cost you to purchase the real carbon fiber

[@S1KRYD]

You pay by the meter. It was $50 per meter

[@aliabul7577]

Thanks for the replay .. But what web site do you use to buy ur carbon fiber and other stuff .

[@S1KRYD]

Ali Abul I buy all my stuff from a fiberglass specialist

[@madrox4132]

Ali Abul carbonfiberglass.com, easycomposites.co.uk, fibreglast.com. There are tons more as well.

[@carbonkingdom3571]

we giving you +1 for job as you avoided air bubles what we can see and from video it seems ended nice. main thing day time with no sun always show errors on a carbon stuff.

[@carbonfiberworld3043]

please help me, can you give me glue ball names ..... i am very grateful ......help me

[@annewolf7206]

hi what clay are you using

[@S1KRYD]

Potters clay

[@annewolf7206]

k cool tnx

[@frankdogg75]

Supra?

[@sebasapereira]

Hey man, do you have an email that i can reach you at? I met a guy locally that does real overlays and I feel like he's ripping me off big time with the price and I wanted to get an idea on how much you think the job should cost. I'll send you pictures of what I'm looking to get overlaid. Unless you can answer it on here for me plz. I have a 2012 BMW E92 335i Coupe and I'm looking to get the REAR DIFFUSER (on the bottom of the rear bumper by the exhaust tips) overlayed. He's charging me $500 to overlay my stock one, but the aftermarket one I bought that broke was %100 Real carbon fiber that I only had $250 for from an actual well known aftermarket BMW company called JL Motoring. Plz lml what you think. Thx

[@S1KRYD]

+sebasupreme Your $250 one would have been made cheaply in China. If the same product was made in the US it would be 3 times the price. You are better off going back to BMW and getting a new one in carbon. But 500 to over lay seems reasonable. Or you could just do it yourself and it would only cost you 100 in materials.

[@sebasapereira]

+S1KRYD ok cool thx

[@JohnVillalobos7]

Why the shades?

[@S1KRYD]

I am unable to show my real identity ;)

[@YLTMauto]

please speak with more volume. good video just need more volume to you voice

[@montyshelby]

wow

[@ec17pse]

how you seeing anything with shades indoors lol

[@markgrevatt4867]

hi just want to say what a great job explaining the process of doing carbon fibre. you was bang on. and it's looks amazing the end result of the work you done. I'm from the uk. and have been in touch with a UK company that's know everything about skinning/ moulds making bumpers in full carbon fibre. there are great company that has a huge amount of experience. videos all the Meterials you need . just thought you may be interested. there name is easycompisites.com. ask for matt. and mention me mark from milton keynes. they also ship all over the world. and very knowledgeable. Anyway fantastic job. you certainly know what your doing was very impressed. many thanks.

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks. Check out my clay sculpting car videos.

[@ExpectRust]

so you're spending money on carbon fibre but not really enjoying it's benefit. So you're effectively spending money to make your car heavier? Why not just use fake carbon at this point if it's only for aesthetics? Is the reason because fake carbon just looks terrible?

[@devinmcclintock1]

Yes

[@xway]

hey bud, this is jason from Auck with the veilside fortune rx7, could you email me at tourstrike at g mail. cheers

[@Bri11ante]

Hows it going man. What's your email address?

[@S1KRYD]

Hi Brian. Im sorry I don't give out my email to everyone because of the risk of hacking. I email Jason with the Fortune RX7 for biz reasons. What can I do for you mate? :)

[@aliswat5383]

I HAVE BATTER WAY TO DO IT EVEN UR ORG PAINT WILL BE STILL SAFE

[@williamharth11]

Do you have a video or instructions on how to? Thanks
