i agree with you broo.... carbon fiber custom parts is carzy expensive..... i have a bmw too and i wanted to change some parts with carbon fiber. now, i can save a lot of money cuz of you (ECO -LAP Studio) and get started making my own carbon fiber custom parts... respect for you bro...
For any one starting carbon work and is serious in it take a few extra bucks and buy a inexpensive vac pump and some bagging materials along with some release film. This will make your work much easier. For very complex parts that you are trying to laminate to a little cheat trick is wet down the surface first with epoxy and wait until its very tacky then apply cloth. This will keep the inside corners or wrap in place. Some beginners use a very light coat of 3m spray adhesive and stick cloth to that then wet down with epoxy. When i first started I did a few boat hulls this way and it actually worked very well. To ECO LAB thanks for your dedication and hard work. I know first hand its not easy to du these tasks let alone recording step by step. Hope you are safe and well thanks.
Ordinary chaps like me working 17 hr a day to pay bills can now afford carbon fiber steering wheel. My friend, I salute you. It was always a dream of mine to do something like this and now you teach me. My wallet and my car salute you again.
Kolour Blind Yo acabo de hacer mi volante y bueno... aun que me sirvio de ayuda, en cuanto haces uno siguiendo sus pasos ves que no queda bien. Los pasos a seguir son muy muy diferentes por lo que he aprendido en el mio. Si llego a lijar la fibra quedaria muy feo una vez acabado). Y al no lijar la primera capa correctamente contrastaria mucho la zona que no se lijo y la que si. Y posiblemente se note la cinta al final. A parte, la ultima capa tampoco la lija ni la pule y eso hace que no quede liso tambien. Un consejo. No usen cinta y lijen entre todas las capas por que si no deslamina

Hello, Buddy! I took about 7 days to complete the steering wheel. Since I am working on carbon fiber after work, it takes a little longer. In addition, it takes a long time for the epoxy resin to cure. Thank you for watching.
Very cool! Did you remove the heat shrink film, or are you able to leave it on and epoxy over it? Can you provide a link to the film? I have never seen that product before.
¿Por que le pones gel coat epoxi al principio y no directamente resina epoxi? . Tengo otra duda. La cinta termo retráctil.. parece que ha dejado marca, ¿no?. ¿crees que habria sido mejor no ponerla?. ¿ o haber reforzado con mas cinta encima de la que ya pusiste? . Un saludo. Eres un maquina!
Hello, Buddy! The use of gel coat is to layer carbon fiber cloth on steering wheel. Epoxy resins flow down because It is low viscosity, but gelcoat does not flow down because it is high viscosity. And also, Gelcoats can be used to bond carbon fiber cloth very tightly. Shrink film was used once. Shrink film marks remain slightly but are not visible when sanding and epoxy resin is applied. If you have any questions, please comment. Thank you for watching ~ ^^
Muchas gracias por contestar. Voy a fabricar mi propio volante y este video me va a ser muy util. Este y el resto de videos. Ademas que lo haces entretenido de ver y te ganaste un suscriptor ;). Sobre el gel coat negro que usas al principio.. ¿podria sustituirse por el que aplicas como capa final, el uv? . Yo voy a usar resina epoxi uv y gel coat uv, todo transparente. Saludos y gracias otra vez.
UV resin can be used as a top coat. The final topcoat has the inverse of protecting the surface. It can be coated. Gel coat is recommended black. The black gel coat can cover the base color of the parts.
Gracias. El tema es que no encuentro gel coat epoxi negro. Por eso decia de usar el gel coat transparente uv como base y como final tambien. ¿Donde puedo conseguirlo?. Si no lo hare con el transparente. Solo encuentro verde. Saludos!
If you don't mind me asking what type of resin and weave do you use? please link? Thank you I subd! nice steering wheel have been watching your videos! Keep it up!
Hello, Buddy!! I usually use a laminating epoxy resin. The top coat uses a different one. Generally, it can work with laminating epoxy resin. I bought an epoxy resin at a Korean online shop. But I think Korean online shop won't ship overseas. So let me tell you a website in the UK. Maybe you can find the things you want. I hope it will help you.

Hi! Found your channel looking for BMW M4 content and carbon! 😆 Seat backs have been done, but ive always wanted a carbon version of the seat fold-forwards handle and trim around it.... For a future vid? 🤓
Hello, Buddy! Shrink film helps keep carbon fiber attached on the steering wheel. It also releases unnecessary epoxy resins as they contract. I hope you helpful.
Hi. Great work! A have two questions about wheel laminating: 1. Please show us how to align two edges of the carbon fiber? 2. What about steering wheel heater which was integrated into leather cover?
Hello, Buddy! I'm sorry i can't speak english well "Please show us how to align two edges of the carbon fiber?" I couldn't quite understand this meaning. The steering wheel heater has been removed. I thought it would be possible to transplant the genuine cover heat into new leather. However, I didn't think it was necessary. The genuine BMW Alcantara steering wheel has no heater.

I have a custom F80 wheel with leather on it. It is hard to the touch unlike the OEM BMW. Would I be OK putting the carbon matting directly on top of the leather rather than stripping it off?
Hello my friend, i try to make a carbon steering wheel like you for my e92. I follow each step, everythibg was gine until the last coat of epoxy anti-uv (I done it with xcr from easycomposite), when i apply this coat, the rendered surface is irregular, with some « hole » without epoxy. I try to sand again and apply epoxy but the end result was the same. Do you have any recommendations ? Can i sand again and apply a gloss varnish ? Thank you!
Do you have a list of products used. And also where can you find empty steering wheels like you did on your video. I want to practice with a blank one vs using my own and messing it up. Also what did you do with the heated steering wheel option? Did you leave it connected?
Hello, Buddy! I have two steering wheels. One is the stock handle and the other is the Alcantara steering wheel. So I worked with stock steering wheel. I think you can get a steering wheel for your car from eBay, etc. I did not connect the steering heating wire. It is very difficult to connect the steering heating wire. Perhaps you need to make a new heating wire. So I didn't. Thanks for watching.
excellent my friend i follow all your videos, excuse me, i have a question, when you put gel coat after carbon fiber do you wait until dry ? then you put resin epoxy, thank you very much best regards from Mexico
Hi, I have a question. Some people use some white filler or product to reshape the top part of the steering wheel when they ad the LED Light display like F1 cars have. What is this product called???
Hello, Buddy! The LED light is the engine RPM signal. It could set the shifting point to LED light. Some are sold in aftermarket, and others are sold as an option for automakers. If you can do MCU (ex. Arduino) programming, you can do it yourself. I had created and used something similar about 10 years ago.
Hi guy is the 220 not too hard? there is only one coat of resin, how can you not ruin the Carbon? when I use the 400 I immediately get to the fiber and ruin it
Hello, Buddy! I didn't sand too hard the first time I sanded. You must sand the carbon fiber cloth to avoid damaging the pattern. For the second sanding, apply several layers of epoxy resin and sanding. At this time, It can sand to a lot of epoxy resin and shape the steering wheel. Even the sand paper of the P220 can be adjusted according to the strength of the force. And the scratches on the P220 sandpaper will all disappear after applying epoxy resin. You should not shape done when first sand. The second sand is very important. I hope you helpful.

Hello, Buddy! It's not impossible. But if you don't use shrink film, be careful not to lift the carbon fiber cloth. Shrink films allow carbon fiber cloth to be of constant thickness without lifting. Thank you for watching.
ciao bel lavoro ,uso il carbonio anche io ma solitamente come ultima mano do il trasparente per evitare imperfezioni.una info,cosa si può usare come riempitivo per aumentare il diametro della corona?perche una volta foderato la parte con il solo carbonio rimane molto più fine rispetto il resto del volante...
Hello, Buddy! I'm sorry I can't speak Italian. Anyway, do you want to increase the diameter of the steering wheel? There are several ways to increase the diameter of the steering wheel. I think that using the filler is the simplest. The type of filler doesn't matter much. But it's good to choose something that is easy to sand. Sanding is very important after applying several layers of fillers. You have to make a shape with sanding. After that, you can apply a gelcoat and layer carbon fibers. I hope you helpful.
@@ECOLAPStudio sorry, I saw the description in English and I thought you were Italian. can I use resin paste as a filler? because the coated part remains much larger than the carbon one,so I would like to increase the carbon size
@@bluspirit81 Resin is difficult to use as a filler. Because the resin is low in viscosity, it flows down. Also, after curing, it is very hard, so sanding is very hard. Making shapes with sanding is very hard. If you want to increase the diameter of the steering wheel, it is recommended to use a filler that is easy to sand. I hope you helpful.
@@ECOLAPStudio i don t mean liquid resin,but resin paste .I do not know how to say it in English. is not liquid ,but it can be modeled by hand and then hardens
@@bluspirit81 We do not seem to understand each other because of language. I'm sorry T.T Liquid resins, such as epoxy resins is flow down and not easy to use. When you choose resins or fillers, simple materials should be used for modeling and sanding. Modeling is very important. Good modeling results in good carbon fiber skinning results.

How much do you charge to make custom steering wheels
Could you possibly list the materials used as far as the epoxy gelcoat and tape and whatnot
Amazing job , how long he take it ??
Hello, Buddy!
I took about 7 days to complete the steering wheel.
Since I am working on carbon fiber after work, it takes a little longer.
In addition, it takes a long time for the epoxy resin to cure.
Thank you for watching.
ECO-LAP Studio you doing a good job ,
And nice M car 😅😅
Very cool! Did you remove the heat shrink film, or are you able to leave it on and epoxy over it? Can you provide a link to the film? I have never seen that product before.
You can see in the video he removes the heat shrink tape lmao
4:24-4:25 you can see it in the top right in the background
hello where to buy such a film. write a link please
¿Por que le pones gel coat epoxi al principio y no directamente resina epoxi? . Tengo otra duda. La cinta termo retráctil.. parece que ha dejado marca, ¿no?. ¿crees que habria sido mejor no ponerla?. ¿ o haber reforzado con mas cinta encima de la que ya pusiste? . Un saludo. Eres un maquina!
Hello, Buddy!
The use of gel coat is to layer carbon fiber cloth on steering wheel.
Epoxy resins flow down because It is low viscosity, but gelcoat does not flow down because it is high viscosity.
And also, Gelcoats can be used to bond carbon fiber cloth very tightly.
Shrink film was used once.
Shrink film marks remain slightly but are not visible when sanding and epoxy resin is applied.
If you have any questions, please comment.
Thank you for watching ~ ^^
Muchas gracias por contestar. Voy a fabricar mi propio volante y este video me va a ser muy util. Este y el resto de videos. Ademas que lo haces entretenido de ver y te ganaste un suscriptor ;).
Sobre el gel coat negro que usas al principio.. ¿podria sustituirse por el que aplicas como capa final, el uv? . Yo voy a usar resina epoxi uv y gel coat uv, todo transparente. Saludos y gracias otra vez.
UV resin can be used as a top coat.
The final topcoat has the inverse of protecting the surface.
It can be coated.
Gel coat is recommended black.
The black gel coat can cover the base color of the parts.
Gracias. El tema es que no encuentro gel coat epoxi negro. Por eso decia de usar el gel coat transparente uv como base y como final tambien. ¿Donde puedo conseguirlo?. Si no lo hare con el transparente. Solo encuentro verde. Saludos!
Check out the black gel coat.

Hello, is that normal shrink film and you just aplied heat so it shrinks tightly over the wheel ?
Thanks new, sub. Great work !
If you don't mind me asking what type of resin and weave do you use? please link? Thank you I subd! nice steering wheel have been watching your videos! Keep it up!
Hello, Buddy!!
I usually use a laminating epoxy resin.
The top coat uses a different one.
Generally, it can work with laminating epoxy resin.
I bought an epoxy resin at a Korean online shop.
But I think Korean online shop won't ship overseas.
So let me tell you a website in the UK.
Maybe you can find the things you want.
I hope it will help you.

Hi! Found your channel looking for BMW M4 content and carbon! 😆 Seat backs have been done, but ive always wanted a carbon version of the seat fold-forwards handle and trim around it.... For a future vid? 🤓
Why not in forged carbon? 😜
What was the purpose of the shrink film? Hooked and almost watched all your vids
Hello, Buddy!
Shrink film helps keep carbon fiber attached on the steering wheel.
It also releases unnecessary epoxy resins as they contract.
I hope you helpful.
ECO-LAP Studio so you didn’t remove after right you just sanded down?
+Santiago Cervantes I removed the film before first sand.
After remove the film, I sanded and applied epoxy resin.
ECO-LAP Studio thanks buddy keep those videos coming!!!! 👌👌👌
How many time you spend for making carbon fiber 😳
Hi. Great work! A have two questions about wheel laminating:
1. Please show us how to align two edges of the carbon fiber?
2. What about steering wheel heater which was integrated into leather cover?
Hello, Buddy!
I'm sorry i can't speak english well
"Please show us how to align two edges of the carbon fiber?" I couldn't quite understand this meaning.
The steering wheel heater has been removed.
I thought it would be possible to transplant the genuine cover heat into new leather.
However, I didn't think it was necessary.
The genuine BMW Alcantara steering wheel has no heater.
I hope you helpful.
Great work ,just wished you showed more on how the m sticking was done
Great video 👍
It can be don same process with wood vinyl also?

I have a custom F80 wheel with leather on it. It is hard to the touch unlike the OEM BMW. Would I be OK putting the carbon matting directly on top of the leather rather than stripping it off?
hi, amazing work!! what was that tape that you put on the fiber and then heated? can you explain?
Hello, Buddy!
It's shrink film.
It is reduced by heat.
I hope you helpful.

Hello my friend, i try to make a carbon steering wheel like you for my e92. I follow each step, everythibg was gine until the last coat of epoxy anti-uv (I done it with xcr from easycomposite), when i apply this coat, the rendered surface is irregular, with some « hole » without epoxy. I try to sand again and apply epoxy but the end result was the same. Do you have any recommendations ? Can i sand again and apply a gloss varnish ? Thank you!
Hello friend.
Apply two to three thin coats of epoxy resin to remove the pinholes.
And when curing is complete, level and polish.
@@ECOLAPStudio thank you 🙌🏼 i’ll try it!
Do you have a list of products used. And also where can you find empty steering wheels like you did on your video. I want to practice with a blank one vs using my own and messing it up. Also what did you do with the heated steering wheel option? Did you leave it connected?
Hello, Buddy!
I have two steering wheels.
One is the stock handle and the other is the Alcantara steering wheel.
So I worked with stock steering wheel.
I think you can get a steering wheel for your car from eBay, etc.
I did not connect the steering heating wire.
It is very difficult to connect the steering heating wire.
Perhaps you need to make a new heating wire.
So I didn't.
Thanks for watching.
One more thing whats the measurements of mixtures that you use.
excellent my friend i follow all your videos, excuse me, i have a question, when you put gel coat after carbon fiber do you wait until dry ? then you put resin epoxy, thank you very much best regards from Mexico
Great job , can we get these epoxy resins and other materials here in India . Anyone commenting from India please help
theres multiple points in the build process that other makers would have called it good. but you kept going. thats true dedication.
wtf. You made it look so easy. nice video
100% my new favourite channel
thank you for posting this info online man. can you please tell us where you get the fabric for the side from ?
Where did you get the steering wheel from ??
Hi, I have a question. Some people use some white filler or product to reshape the top part of the steering wheel when they ad the LED Light display like F1 cars have. What is this product called???
Hello, Buddy!
The LED light is the engine RPM signal.
It could set the shifting point to LED light.
Some are sold in aftermarket, and others are sold as an option for automakers.
If you can do MCU (ex. Arduino) programming, you can do it yourself.
I had created and used something similar about 10 years ago.
@@ECOLAPStudio Yes i know what the lights for but i want to know how they hold it into place and mould it into the steering, what Product is used??
Hi guy
is the 220 not too hard? there is only one coat of resin, how can you not ruin the Carbon? when I use the 400 I immediately get to the fiber and ruin it
Hello, Buddy!
I didn't sand too hard the first time I sanded.
You must sand the carbon fiber cloth to avoid damaging the pattern.
For the second sanding, apply several layers of epoxy resin and sanding.
At this time, It can sand to a lot of epoxy resin and shape the steering wheel.
Even the sand paper of the P220 can be adjusted according to the strength of the force.
And the scratches on the P220 sandpaper will all disappear after applying epoxy resin.
You should not shape done when first sand.
The second sand is very important.
I hope you helpful.

Hello, Buddy!
I don't think that most heat shrinkable films are very different.
However, It is not necessary to use a heat shrink film.
You can meticulously attach the carbon fiber.
I hope you helpful.

Salut , dacă nu am rășină epoxidica cu protecție UV este vre o problema ?
can i do it without shrink film ?
Hello, Buddy!
It's not impossible.
But if you don't use shrink film, be careful not to lift the carbon fiber cloth.
Shrink films allow carbon fiber cloth to be of constant thickness without lifting.
Thank you for watching.
Awesome video as always. What’s the name of that sticker remover ???
Hello, Buddy!
It is just a sticker remover.
You can also use parts cleaner.
Amazing, so much skills. 💯
the fact you don't show off the finish tells us all we need to know about the final product
Nice video!! Did you also apply resin on the top part and then sand and polish?
... and how much did it get lighter?
I can't find any shrink film around here. Or is to high price. There some other way to make it?
ciao bel lavoro ,uso il carbonio anche io ma solitamente come ultima mano do il trasparente per evitare imperfezioni.una info,cosa si può usare come riempitivo per aumentare il diametro della corona?perche una volta foderato la parte con il solo carbonio rimane molto più fine rispetto il resto del volante...
Hello, Buddy!
I'm sorry I can't speak Italian.
Anyway, do you want to increase the diameter of the steering wheel?
There are several ways to increase the diameter of the steering wheel.
I think that using the filler is the simplest.
The type of filler doesn't matter much.
But it's good to choose something that is easy to sand.
Sanding is very important after applying several layers of fillers.
You have to make a shape with sanding.
After that, you can apply a gelcoat and layer carbon fibers.
I hope you helpful.
@@ECOLAPStudio sorry, I saw the description in English and I thought you were Italian.
can I use resin paste as a filler?
because the coated part remains much larger than the carbon one,so I would like to increase the carbon size
@@bluspirit81 Resin is difficult to use as a filler.
Because the resin is low in viscosity, it flows down.
Also, after curing, it is very hard, so sanding is very hard.
Making shapes with sanding is very hard.
If you want to increase the diameter of the steering wheel, it is recommended to use a filler that is easy to sand.
I hope you helpful.
@@ECOLAPStudio i don t mean liquid resin,but resin paste .I do not know how to say it in English. is not liquid ,but it can be modeled by hand and then hardens
@@bluspirit81 We do not seem to understand each other because of language. I'm sorry T.T
Liquid resins, such as epoxy resins is flow down and not easy to use.
When you choose resins or fillers, simple materials should be used for modeling and sanding.
Modeling is very important.
Good modeling results in good carbon fiber skinning results.
How do you tuck in the leather between the carbon fiber?
Hello, Buddy~
In the video, there's a small space in the area that's not the carbon fiber and the carbon fiber.
It's simple to push it in there with a squeegee.
Most steering wheels do this.
I hope you helpful.

lol that ending is perfect
Where i can found the heat shrink film? Because i Only found heat shrink tape and i dont know if it can be used 😅
Is the shrink film necessary? I can’t seem to find any
Hello, Buddy!!
You will make without the shrink film.
But, If you have Shrink film, It is useful.
The shrink film helps the carbon fiber and the steering wheel to stick together.

Hey man, loved the video. Subbed because of it. Have you ever thought about doing this but adding converting an oem steering wheel to flat bottom?

Hi friend,
I did not make the bottom of the steering wheel flat.
Some people ask about Flat Bottom, but I don't seem to understand Flat Bottom because I don't speak English very well.
Can you explain if possible?
@@ECOLAPStudio racing wheels are designed with a flat bottom. The normal steering wheel is a circle shape. A flat bottom steering wheel has straight lines on the bottom. Try searching for flat bottom steering wheel on TH-cam.
I asked because I watched one video where someone transformed a normal steering wheel to a flat bottom steering wheel. I am looking to do it myself and wanted to see a few people try it.
