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!!

@@Gborohooo Yeah, any body shop could do that.

Glad you like it dude. Got plenty more cool stuff planned!

If definitely a great channel 🔥👌

Holy hell is correct

I really glad it helped out dude. Both my cars have close to zero aftermarket options, so I’ve had to make everything myself. Makes for a more personal and unique build 🤙🏻

I was starting to lose interest in my build (Mitsubishi asx) and I'd have to say you've reignited my passion for my own car. Earned another sub today!

Thank you dude, more on the way....got a lot of things I want to do!

I watch your videos, XD you want to do it for the supra ? All the cars freeks watch each other videos :D

Synthwave for life!!

Nokan38 thanks for checking out the channel dude! Appreciate the support.

It’s up to you dude, I’d love to full composite parts in the future. Skinning is great place to start with, pretty simple process and get you used to working with the carbon.

@@BuildCreate I've been dabbling, 3d printing and making a mould for a small air intake. Huge learning curve but I think I'm getting there. The way you have sculpted those wings from nothing has inspired me to have a go at something similar. Keep up the good work

Check out street bandito for some awesome work with carbon, in case you guys haven't seen it.

@@BuildCreate Never thought about skinning my 1989 xv1100 until now. Id rather keep her as close to original as possible but that finish would look great on her, pure bad ass.

Thanks dude. Their channel is perfect for learning about this stuff.

Glad it helps dude!

Thank you dude. Much appreciated!

Thanks man, I’m also looking forward to it being done 😂

Thank you so much for the kind words dude.

Thank you so much dude! Best of luck with the project, get building 😬

Thank you dude! appreciate you checking out the channel!

Cheers dude!

Haha, give it time.

Thank you so much dude, really appreciate the kind words. Much more to come.

I’m so excited to see the final results

Thank you so much dude!

100% agree with this. If you don't post cure the resin, it will ripple when exposed to the heat of the sun. I learnt the hard way, and I've been skinning parts using the same system for a few years now.

Can you explain more about the post curing process before the final flat and polish? The XCR datasheet says 16 hours at 60C (I’m assuming an oven or heater of some sort?) but is there a solution to curing a large/long part like a sideskirt?

@@muckeyn Basically you have to apply heat to the part either via leaving it in an oven at low temperature for a few hours or if you live somewhere hot leave it out in the sun for the day.

@@joebloggs4191 haven’t been able to find out much about sun curing. I’m guessing leaving it outside would probably cause print through/sinking and then you flatten/polish/clear it from there?

Thanks for checking out the channel dude! Multi tools are definitely best for cutting carbon. Way less dust and they don’t create heat and melt the resin from underneath 🤙🏻

Thank you so much dude, i glad i didn't fuck it up haha.

They have obviously suffered some kind of head trauma, hence they pressed the wrong button 😂. It’s starting to get there for sure!

Thanks man.

Thanks dude. It was really fun to do!

Thank you so much for the kind words dude.

Great Job.

Ha! Amazing, thanks for subbing dude.

Really appreciate the kind words dude! Good luck with the build 🤙🏻

Awesome! You’ll have fun that’s for sure.

Looking forward to it but after we move so I'm not stressing about cure times and someone touching them.

Thank you so much dude!

Ah thanks homie! Miss you.

Appreciate it dude, thanks for the support!

Cheers dude.

You're a fan!? Awesome! I've had it for such a long time and really need to get a new one.

Really appreciate it dude!

Thanks for checking it out 😊

Thanks buddy. I would’ve done both at the same time but I only had one panel stand and didn’t want to have one propped up awkwardly you know?

Thanks man!

Fuck slot,fuck gambling,fuck that huge

Thank you!

Thanks dude!

Glad it helped dude!

Cheers dude!

Thanks man!

Thanks dude. Much appreciated!

Thanks man!

Thanks!

Build Create no probs credit were its due I have a question I have a spoiler which is rounded not sharp angles which is best process would u say to cover in real carbon fibre it's more curved edges end to end again great work all the best 👍🏻

Cheers dude.
