    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 !

      @@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!!

    I have to say. For the car that I own and modify there is basically no modification options cosmetically and you have helped me realize that if it doesn't exist for me why not just do it myself. This video as well as your over fender videos helped jump start my build list when its been haulted by the lack of cosmetic options

    Some ppl will go for expensive custom paint but most going vinyl rap way for more style or new extra thick vinyl for added protection, but sun still beats it up worse than paint. Skinning u get the protection factor, plus durability factor & can still get fancy finished paint or clear look.

    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.

    I have just finished skinning my car interiors trims using this XCR resin and have to say it is great stuff however some things I found out during this journey. Car parts need to be post cured before the final flat and polish and secondly although you don't need to lacquer the part lacquering gives a way better finish. I polished some of my interior trims similar to what you did and some of the trim I gave it it my bodyshop to put two or three coats of 2K lacquer and the finish of those pieces is far superior to the rest so now I am going to get them lacquered too.

    • @garyengland5326
      @garyengland5326 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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?

    Brother that's looks sick! Approximately how much would it cost to carbon fiber up a whole car? Trunk, all panels doors good. I'm looking into doing my 2014 Mazda 6.

    Where did you source your carbon fiber and what kind did you use?

    Can you paint over the carbon fiber with normal paint?

      It’s an epoxy basecoat. I’ve put a link in the description for the materials I used 😊

    Lamination on the top of the wing? The carbon wing should be larger than the original?

  • @TheRickjames215

    Wondering if you could just use the old panels for a mold and replace most panels with carbon fiber this way.

      Rictacular James; yes you could, but it's extremely costly and time consuming. Check out "Throttle Stop Garage" and you will get an idea of the insane amount of work needed for a good result.

    So am I right in thinking the original panel is still underneath the carbon and its not a newly created wing?

    • @BuildCreate
      @BuildCreate  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup, that’s what skinning is. One of the main reasons I did it is because the wing is fibreglass and wasn’t the best quality. I wanted to make it stand out more and add some strength.

  • @Icejob

    So is this basically a carbon fiber wrap, or did you remove the metal fender from underneath?

    • @BuildCreate
      @BuildCreate  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup, that’s what skinning is. The wing stayed in place....like I said at the start, the wing is fibreglass. Not metal. It’s stronger and still lighter than a oem wing.

  • @jasonwoody8041
    @jasonwoody8041 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks great! Question for you though. How much thickness would you say it gave overall? Like say from where the front of the doors meet the back of the fender (wings) its it pretty obvious or no? Thinking i would like to skin a hood (bonnet)

  • @Druwoods
    @Druwoods 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thought I've seen people hit the epoxy with a torch while it's wet to get some of those imperfections to pop out?
