For your next panels, A small paint roller makes the resin spread easier and flater(less sanding) might be cheaper to and lighter to use less resin and do a clear spray instead. I’m a aircraft mechanic who deals with carbon/Kevlar on a daily basis. You did a good job !

@jakefriesenjake 3 жыл бұрын

Clear coat way cheaper. I'd do 2 coats of resin, then 4 coats clear. Cut n buff!

@Gborohooo 3 жыл бұрын

@@jakefriesenjake After the last layer of epoxy dries, what would you do to clear coat after? Any sanding or anything before clear coat?

@jakefriesenjake 3 жыл бұрын

@@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!!

Looks really good for a skinning. I usually scuff the low spots with a red scuff pad after block it. The scuff pad is flexible enough to allow you to get into any low spot. The last thing you want is it flacking off on those low spots that you didn’t scuff/sand. UC resins are good but just dont trust them. I always spray a 2k clear on top. But it looks really good man.

Before applying the epoxy basecoat. Cut out all the fiber to size on all panels to be skinned. You save a lot more material. Place closes to each edge to save material. The small bits can be used for interior peices or smaller bits throughout the vehicle.
