[QUOTE="MelloStang2010, post: 16354927, member: 180084"] Tried my hand and hand laminating some of the textured plastic pieces with carbon fiber for a fraction of the cost of actual carbon pieces. Came out decent but it's a very time consuming process. Currently working on a few other carbon fiber projects as well. Just dont have the free time I need to work on them. [ATTACH=full]1620121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1620122[/ATTACH] Sanded down with 120 grit paper [ATTACH=full]1620130[/ATTACH] Initial wet layup, was a massive pain to get the fiber to stay stuck down in some places [ATTACH=full]1620131[/ATTACH] Epoxy resin layers finished ready for clean up [ATTACH=full]1620132[/ATTACH] All edges cleaned up and resin surface sanded with 120, 400, and finished with 800 grit paper [ATTACH=full]1620133[/ATTACH] Clear coat laid down. Looked nice and glossy but left an orange peel texture [ATTACH=full]1620134[/ATTACH] Wet sanded with 2000 and 3000 grit paper and ready for polishing. [ATTACH=full]1620136[/ATTACH] Finished result, still have to put it on the car though.
