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 !

Clear coat way cheaper. I'd do 2 coats of resin, then 4 coats clear. Cut n buff!

@@jakefriesenjake After the last layer of epoxy dries, what would you do to clear coat after? Any sanding or anything before clear coat?

@@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.

@@jakefriesenjake Oh awesome, that was extremely helpful. Thank you! This nay be a stupid question, but would a typical body shop know how to do this? I have done plenty of resin/epoxy project, but never dealt with clear coat or even automotive paint. I don't know how similar the processes of clear coating a painted part and clear coating a fresh epoxy/carbon fiber part are, so figured I'd ask. I really appreciate the help!!

Heat gun wafted over soon as you've put wet resin on helps with popping air bubbles for a perfect finish 👌

you should lay down at least two coats of epoxy before you start to sand or you can sand right through it .

I have to say. For the car that I own and modify there is basically no modification options cosmetically and you have helped me realize that if it doesn't exist for me why not just do it myself. This video as well as your over fender videos helped jump start my build list when its been haulted by the lack of cosmetic options

Looks really good for a skinning. I usually scuff the low spots with a red scuff pad after block it. The scuff pad is flexible enough to allow you to get into any low spot. 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.

Choice between vinyl or carbon vs high dollar paint & which most ppl will want to do & can do themselves I would say vinyl 1st carbon skinning 2nd & painting most will just sub out.

Looks great! Question for you though. How much thickness would you say it gave overall? Like say from where the front of the doors meet the back of the fender (wings) its it pretty obvious or no? Thinking i would like to skin a hood (bonnet)

Looks really good. I’d still clear coat with a 2k automotive clear. I don’t trust uv resins, plus it gives it double protection.

Some ppl will go for expensive custom paint but most going vinyl rap way for more style or new extra thick vinyl for added protection, but sun still beats it up worse than paint. Skinning u get the protection factor, plus durability factor & can still get fancy finished paint or clear look.

nice job! i missed, or what you use on the first layer (black)? is it gelcoat? and carbon is 240g, or?

Nice work brother, it looks stunning. 🇬🇧👁

Use a small roller with a Mohair sleeve for rolling the resin on. It’s faster and the finish is much smoother then brushing it on

Before applying the epoxy basecoat. Cut out all the fiber to size on all panels to be skinned. You save a lot more material. Place closes to each edge to save material. The small bits can be used for interior peices or smaller bits throughout the vehicle.

Nice work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 wanna ask about the polishing, do you use normal car paint polish?

thanks for this video, helped a lot with my own project. By the way does somebody know how many layers of carbon would be necessary to substantially strengthen a steel car body, talking about 2 to 4 times, the initial strength of the factory version?

What did you use as a base coat to tack before you layer the carbon fiber?

Loving the SK shirt dude 👍
