Im sure it was you, smoothed sides with cyclones on Smile

I was just off stanningly road at vert displays, so not sure exactly were I saw you, think I got there about 10am.

£200 is a bit to much I think.

Yeah that will have been me! Wave
Working with carbon fiber is a complete twat!
I thought it was going to be well easy and the hardest part would be trying to lay it right
How wrong was I! Sad

So £200 is about the mark I'd do them for if I can get them to a place I'm Happy with
Tryling mine I know they can't just be polished because
They seem to go a bit mat looking,.. I'll try lacquer and see if I need to use high temp lacquer or if normal stuff is fine,..

Here's what they have to go through

Prise lights appart, (successfully!)
Remove masks undercoat and paint black
Spray glue on them and apply carbon
Took them behind and mask
Aply 1st coat of resin wait to go to full cure
Sand back then appy 2nd coat wait 2 hours and apply 3rd coat using a heat gun to try get any bubbles out
Then once they have gone to full cure
Sand back smooth and use finnishing sanding
Then lacquer them put them all back together
And bond Smile

Sounds easy but I keep finding air bubbles
and bits where the carbon leaves the surface
Or the resin goes cloudy or got bits stuck in the resin
If it was that easy it would have already been done!

I take pride in my work I'm not that fussed for the money but at the same time I'm not going to go to all the effort
And risk for not much more than black masks a much easier and less time consuming alternative, Smile
