You gave that trim a new life👍

As usual you're an inspiration to me.

I find doing a sanding coat can make the next layer look cloudy even with washing and cleaning stuff when doing chopped carbon so I don’t now. Just do base coat then stick the chopped carbon down then do 3/4 coats of resin then do the cutting around clean up and level out more. Then one last resin coat. Leave for a few days then do the sanding grading before UV clear coat hope this helps anyone

Good advice. And yes, epoxy resin would go all cloudy because it's still gassing off, and the clear coat isn't allowing the gasses to escape!

Love the look of the big flakes

What I've done with interior pieces is. Black base layer Lay carbon 1st epoxy layer Vacuum bag Key epoxy with 120 Tack rag Do another 3 to 6 layers of expoy Sand with 60 grit to 400 grit. Clear coat Sand with 1200 Sand with 2000 Cut and polish

@@VictorFlores-fc7pb make sure the resin and clear coat doesn't go yellow in UV light

Looks great! ❤

It looks so cool! Can you please provide some links for the exact carbon fiber material to buy ? Great job man!

Great work mukka

That looks amazing, i love it. When I did some forged carbon skinning to my interior, i used the easy composites chopped tow, but its a bit too much if a fabric texture and gives annalmost fluffy appearance. I really like this syle, so I think I'm goingnto guve it a go. Nice work 🍻👍

I had the same so wait till sticky’s then pull apart the chopped carbon and lay as flat as possible. Then add more if needed use a metal roller to help flatten. Then get a plastic shopping bag and put the part inside and pull tight twist the end and tape up it’s better than vac bag so won’t push out of shape

Hi! Greate video! Do you know any XCR black epoxy alternative?

What kind of brush do you use to stick the carbon the brush

Great job mate! Really inspiring, one question, i see people talking about bubbles issue, how did you avoid that ? Thanks

Awesome project!! Just one question, doesn't using clear coat 2 part resin with your airbrush ruin it? Won't some of it sediment inside? is it not an issue? I would love to try but i dont want to ruin my only airbrush

What model of air brash and compressor are you using?

thanks man

Wow Perfect looking mate 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😍 I will try this on my helmet, it’s matter which first coat? Or possible to make black colour and after this epoxy?

Very nice

Where do i get the carbon sheet in that exact lenghts etc

I love your work i would love to ship you some parts to have them done

How come no peel ply after u put the carbon on?

I have no idra whats going wrong with my carbon skinning. It just goes really black and cant see any of the shine of the carbon. Im using crystal clear epoxy but no clue why its just black

What kind of carbon did you use?

Where can I buy those epoxy you used in this video,bro?

Hi buddy! Could you advise for how long did you wait after applying the carbon on the black epoxy? Did you fully dry the “wetted” carbon layer or just wait few hours for the B-stage and then continue with the epoxy layers?

Hey might not be the person you wanted but maybe the person you need. It's imperative to wait for the B stage, it's one of those crucial moments in my experience, it really makes the carbon stick solidly.

to save on brushes, you can use a rubber spatula

I get all my stuff from easycomposites.eu pretty much. The best advice I'd say is just trying yourself at it, experience is what matters a fair bit in composites work, but at the same time it's not rocket science in terms of such diy projects!

Im from Mexico, I wuld like to buy this materials and lear to work whit it

how long did you wait between each layer ? For drying 👍

Usually 2 hours for reaching the b-stage for the xcr resin at room temp, but different epoxies/hardener combos need a different amount of time! Just wait for a while and do it when it's super sticky but no longer comes off easy!

Per un miglior risultato e soprattutto per una miglior compattazione , quando hai fatto il MOSAICO e bagnato con la resina METTI TUTTO IN UN SACCO E FAI IL VUOTO , la superficie verrá subito liscia e lo spessore più basso...una scartata e puoi verniciare subito 😉

Good effort, should have done ashtray at same time

Good job, but should have done the ash tray as well.

it's good but you are adding weight

Make sure you wear eye protection dude. Carbon splinters is no joke. Good job though.

lol
