i looked into starting a hobby of wrapping car parts in CF, found a good kit and will try to do some smaller parts and see how they come out, if i get good results ill post up some pics and maybe even do some parts for you!!! but that will be a while before i get the kit ordered, and do some practice pieces. ill post pics when i get started. wish me luck, like i said if all goes well, ill think about doing some pieces for some people on the forum

I have been doing carbon fiber for about 6-7 and have done everything from overlays on little parts to overlays on huge parts, I have vacuum bagged parts, made molds and can do vacuum infusion. It takes money, time, attention to detail and patience's. I personally prefer doing vacuum infusion over any other method due to how perfect the parts come out right out of the mold if you prepared them correctly. Overlays can be very frustrating because you add some resin and then you sand some and then you add some more and the process continues until you get the part level. I listed two sites that I would highly recommend as they have helped me over the years. I would also start off making flat panels as they are the easiest and once you get those down then move onto more complicated parts.


Oh yeah good luck and it is a very addicting hobby, I know I spent a ton of time on it.
