Yeah that will have been me!  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!  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 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, ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
