Just a tid bit of advice. Use a mild rubbing compound on a foam pad and then use a machine polish on a separate softer foam pad, that will help remove the light hazing (underbuff) and helps eliminate swirl marks. But..that was an amazing end result and absolutely video.

I highly recommend sanding the first cured layer for better results.

Thats a great idea!! So its pretty a real carbon fiber wrap. I like how that turned out.

Since you ended up with the carbon bridging in some of the sections(unseen clip areas), do you think with this particular door panel vacuum bagging was necessary? I could see on more complex shapes but this one was pretty flat.

Vacuum bagging gets the bubbles out. It wont help you with the form or anything, it just reduces the amount of epoxy to the required minimum while getting out some air inclusions.

What epoxy are you using. I haven't been able to get mine to stick to plastic even after using 60grit sanding.

🔥🔥🔥 Nice tutorial. Thanks for the insite.

Awesome video and thorough step-by-step! A word of caution to you, though. The isocyanates in 2K clear can get into series 6000 filters and mess you up. You should have a remote air supply even if you can't be in a booth. 2K clear is nasty stuff and wouldn't want you risking your lungs to get a good finish on the parts. Even if you can't smell paint, isocyanates are scentless and are smaller particles than paint. Be safe and keep on recording, these videos are great.

Great job. Looks very good!

That's a really expensive way to get delamination in a few years. Simplify the process to save time and money, as well as achieve a result which will last virtually forever... Instead of filler, rough up the surface with 40 or 80 grit sandpaper. Follow that with a rag soaked in acetone. Wipe the entire surface so that the acetone softens the top layer. Immediately follow that with a "laminating" polyester resin (instead of epoxy). Add the black dye if you prefer. Don't wait for the resin to set. Immediately lay the carbon fiber down onto the surface. Use a fiberglass roller or a very firm paint roller to press the cloth into place, as well as to press out any trapped air. Mix a second batch of resin. This time use a "finishing" polyester resin. Again, not epoxy. Alternatively, you can add a wax filler to the same laminating resin used in the initial coat. Use a brush to DAB the resin over the cloth. Do not brush it. After dabbing the second layer, roll that out again. Let the second layer cure completely, overnight. No such thing as over-cured. After that, sand with 2000 grit, then spray the clear coat. Cut and buff to your preference. Results: No wrinkles. Lighter weight. Significant cost savings, as polyester is cheaper than epoxy. No trapped air that will cause future delamination. Also no trapped air means you won't have a blotchy finish. Total labor cut by approximately 75%.

I tried this and it didn't work. Once your carbon fiber touches the epoxy there's no repositioning it. I let it dry until tacky and it just made a mess of my carbon fiber weave.

You are 100% RICER

Where are your protective gloves? You are dealing with chemicals. You should put them on.

I know this is probably operation budget friendly but dude wear gloves! Slow the heck down when mixing all your doing is aerating your mixture when you stir that fast, and use your brush to work out bubbles or creases on the carbon fiber fabric.

What's with all the extra coats, isn't that just adding weight, should be able to resign straight over the panel.
