Yep. Heat from a handheld blow torch, and/or spritzing acetone with a mist sprayer bottle. Both reduce the surface tension momentarily, allowing trapped air bubbles to be released.
Hi, if you spread a thin layer of the same resin with a squeegee, swipe both ways you'll fill those pinholes, then light sanding and continue with coatings. Great video, thanks.
@@Keegan_Co You can also reduce the viscosity of the resin temporarily by adding 5 to 20% ( max ) Denatured Alcohol ( not IPA ) to it. This will make it easier for it to level and fill holes.
Probably saved a lot more than that if I knew what I was doing haha sadly my 2nd fender has been a huge failure but I've learned a lot so when I do the hood here pretty soon I think I'll have it down
One thing i notice you done a awsome job but i think the colour foll needs to layed with the carbon fibres you need bits to overlap or it just looks like its placed on top but thats me keep it up bro 😊
What all are you needing? Chopped carbon I got from ebay I think? 😅 Blue foil flakes on Amazon Resin also from Amazon Feel free and reach out on Instagram and I can send you links Keegan_Co_
Hey thanks so much I appreciate that! Always love to see another Keegan 😂 Heads up make sure you let the resin get tacky before putting on the chopped carbon and also make sure you are mixing equal parts resin/hardner My 2nd fender completely failed and had to do something completely different with it 😅
Bro, u need vacuum bags and release sheets. It'll save you so much time and headache, but mainly it'll save your sanity. You might still have a few pinholes. Fill them in using a syringe and needle.
Better still, pick up a cheap paint gun; I've found even the cheapest, crappiest Chinese gun beats rattle cans hands down, much more controllable and you get better flow and a decent fan spray pattern. (I tried re-spraying the hood on my Mom's car with cans and it took a day and about 10 cans in total, and still looked like crap. Stripped the whole lot down, got a cheap gun and did it within a few hours, including prep, with a much better result, I think the paint worked out costing less, too.)
Doesnt it end up slightly too big if you just cover the original one that fits? 😂😂 Windscreen repair kit for pin holes comes with little pressure syringe thing to squeeze in epoxy maybe??
It will be slightly bigger yes but it's not noticeable when everything is bolted together It's much better with a vacuum system it makes it much flatter and easier to sand
Are you talking about clear coat or the resin? The resin I definitely agree I should've used something else It wasn't horrible but I had a ton of issues with it on the 2nd fender I'm actually doing the same look on my Supra spoiler with a different resin and it's given me much better results and will be getting legit clear coat
@dylankennedy8474 if I get a notification I'll respond haha if not you can always reach out through Instagram 😁 Chopped carbon and blue flakes were ordered through Amazon actually Pretty affordable and I think I did 1 or 2lbs which is more than enough to do both Fenders and a gr supra spoiler 😂
@dylankennedy8474 yeah its pretty decent stuff actually Something I don't think I mentioned in the video is give the resin about 5 mins to tack up before placing the carbon I learned the hard way 😅
Get some good quality resin, chopped carbon and a ton of sand paper 😅 It's not too difficult but very time consuming and takes a bit to learn how to do it properly I'm still learning myself but have learned a lot from just this process
I did the same but my the colour of my flakes turn away… is that the quality of the flakes are or what am I doing wrong? Did you buy the flakes from Amazon too?
I did yeah some of the flakes did that but for the most it stayed blue My only problem I had is with the resin and im having to redo one entire fender 😭
@kaidrube725 basically yeah mine was a reaction issue and it didn't cure properly so I'm sanding back all the bad stuff and trying again with another layer or 2 of new resin The sanding part is just horrible because it's like sanding glue
@timdahlberg468 originally this video didn't do well at all so I never finished the 2nd part that and one of the Fenders completely failed due to a resin issue... That being said I did do a forged carbon look on my GR supra spoiler after learning from the mistakes and will have a video coming out on it soon.. Proper clear coat, paint etc. Still not perfect but better than the results from this video 😅 sorry I'm a small part time "youtuber" doing this for fun when I can and sometimes I don't get to finish things 100% do to me just testing and trying new things
Its funny to me people spare no expense with some things but cheap on others. 2k clear looks a million times better and is just barely more expensive. Why would not not buy it?
@dannybailes3948 because all that was available at the time was 1k clear and it's my first time trying all this.. Also this whole total thing only cost around $100 I'm being cheap just to learn Once I know the process then I'll dump more money Into it to do it properly
szczerze mówiąc, folia kosztowała około 5 dolarów i tak naprawdę nic nie waży 😅 ale nie zgadzam się, że gdyby została wykonana prawidłowo, byłaby znacznie lżejsza i mocniejsza… zależy mi tylko na fajnym wyglądzie i niewielkim zwiększeniu wytrzymałości, aby nauczyć się procesu Also I don't speak I think polish? So I hope this came out well 😂 I tried though!

Love this look especially with the blue flakes in it!! Can’t wait to see it on the skyline!!
If you compound the fender with some Maguires compound it should give it more shine
Did you use a fiber glass roller? When you add the chop and roll it out it make for a lot less sanding, way more level and might save you some time.
I did on my first fender and the 2nd I used peel play
Sadly the 2nd one is requiring way more sanding because I didn't do the fender roller
Heat immediately after laying it to release the air to make the final sand and polish easy
Yep. Heat from a handheld blow torch, and/or spritzing acetone with a mist sprayer bottle. Both reduce the surface tension momentarily, allowing trapped air bubbles to be released.
Hi, if you spread a thin layer of the same resin with a squeegee, swipe both ways you'll fill those pinholes, then light sanding and continue with coatings. Great video, thanks.
Oooh thanks for the advice I appreciate that! I'm working on a spoiler for my supra at the moment so thats definitely useful information! 🙏
@@Keegan_Co You can also reduce the viscosity of the resin temporarily by adding 5 to 20% ( max ) Denatured Alcohol ( not IPA ) to it. This will make it easier for it to level and fill holes.
And you just saved yourself 150 bucks. Nice
Probably saved a lot more than that if I knew what I was doing haha sadly my 2nd fender has been a huge failure but I've learned a lot so when I do the hood here pretty soon I think I'll have it down
😂 I just saved one hundred and fifty buckkkkkks
Where you get your flakes an how much did you use ?
Much love and respect to you and your channel Keegan.
Like the touch with the blue. White, black forged fenders and some small random bits of blue would make for a sick color scheme on the skyline.
Thats hopefully the plan as long as it all turns out well if not then we'll switch it up 😅
Thanks though I appreciate it!
Use a long block for sanding gets it pretty flat
One thing i notice you done a awsome job but i think the colour foll needs to layed with the carbon fibres you need bits to overlap or it just looks like its placed on top but thats me keep it up bro 😊
hey man just curious on what bits u needed to buy for this i wanna do something similar on mine but dont know where to start
loved the video btw
What all are you needing?
Chopped carbon I got from ebay I think? 😅
Blue foil flakes on Amazon
Resin also from Amazon
Feel free and reach out on Instagram and I can send you links Keegan_Co_
Same name that’s wild lol looking to do this to my fenders for my wrx so that’ll be fun been watching a lot of videos
Hey thanks so much I appreciate that! Always love to see another Keegan 😂

Can't leave a like until I have watched it!
Fair enough 😅 hopefully it's helpful!
Bro, u need vacuum bags and release sheets.

You might still have a few pinholes. Fill them in using a syringe and needle.
Yeah I've learned that 😭 I just don't have the money to spend on it yet but I will get everything for it at some point
2k clear....it will make a hge difference in depth and gloss. They sell it in spray cans. Wear a mask when you do it.
I've been trying to find 2k clear and haven't had any luck 😭 im using 1k at the moment to see if it'll be good enough
Better still, pick up a cheap paint gun; I've found even the cheapest, crappiest Chinese gun beats rattle cans hands down, much more controllable and you get better flow and a decent fan spray pattern.

These look amazing for all hand work I really wanna try this
i like the blue foil, got a link for it?
Look up blue foil flakes on Amazon thats what I used haha it's not perfect but it works!
did you found it? I'm not sure what material are them made
I love what you have done but this isn’t forged carbon fibre it’s called skinning carbon fibre
Bro where did you buy the Neon Blue flakes?
@@lengonzales9136 Amazon just type in blue foil flakes
Perfect bro 😎 👍🏽 thumbs up Siskel and e Bert
still waiting on forging part
Yeah now I need to do my Audi Preciate you bro
Doesnt it end up slightly too big if you just cover the original one that fits? 😂😂
Windscreen repair kit for pin holes comes with little pressure syringe thing to squeeze in epoxy maybe??

It's much better with a vacuum system it makes it much flatter and easier to sand
@@Keegan_Co definitely need to give this a bash with couple things. Always looks easy on youtube
Should have def used a 2k real 2 part clear. Would have made things much easier and far beyter looking.
Are you talking about clear coat or the resin?
The resin I definitely agree I should've used something else
It wasn't horrible but I had a ton of issues with it on the 2nd fender
I'm actually doing the same look on my Supra spoiler with a different resin and it's given me much better results and will be getting legit clear coat
Just earned another subscriber ❤
Appreciate you! 🙏
How many pounds of carbon fiber bits did it take for one fender?
@progressiongarage7332 I ordered 1lb and had more than enough left over to do a Streethunter supra spoiler
@@Keegan_Co thanks for info and fast reply!
Whats the blue flake called been trying to look for the specific name everywhere
I just got blue foil flakes on Amazon 😅 idk if it's the correct stuff but it works!
@@Keegan_Co thankyou bro 🙏
long shot hoping to get a response but where did you get the chopped tow that you used
@dylankennedy8474 if I get a notification I'll respond haha if not you can always reach out through Instagram 😁
Chopped carbon and blue flakes were ordered through Amazon actually
Pretty affordable and I think I did 1 or 2lbs which is more than enough to do both Fenders and a gr supra spoiler 😂
@@Keegan_Co haha new favorite youtuber for that, but thank you been looking for material but wasn’t sure if amazon was reliable enough
@dylankennedy8474 yeah its pretty decent stuff actually
Something I don't think I mentioned in the video is give the resin about 5 mins to tack up before placing the carbon
I learned the hard way 😅
I would like to learn and work this in my garage, Im from Mexico, what I must to do?
Get some good quality resin, chopped carbon and a ton of sand paper 😅
It's not too difficult but very time consuming and takes a bit to learn how to do it properly
I'm still learning myself but have learned a lot from just this process
thanks for answer, how can I know when a resin has good quality? Any brand?@@Keegan_Co
When can we see it on the car?
Where did you buy the materials? Im from Mexico
Amazon had all of it
Heat gun my boi
Nice job 👏
Very good 👍
Can you send links to the materials you used?
Amazon.com
Type in blue foil flakes or colored foil flakes
Chopped carbon 1lb bag
2 part epoxy resin
how did you create those flakes of that color? did you already get them in that size and color, or did you cut and color them yourself? thanks
It's blue foil flakes from Amazon it's not the best but for a proof of concept they work
I did the same but my the colour of my flakes turn away… is that the quality of the flakes are or what am I doing wrong? Did you buy the flakes from Amazon too?
I did yeah some of the flakes did that but for the most it stayed blue
My only problem I had is with the resin and im having to redo one entire fender 😭
@@Keegan_Co yeah that …. But the only thing you can do is do it again?
@kaidrube725 basically yeah mine was a reaction issue and it didn't cure properly so I'm sanding back all the bad stuff and trying again with another layer or 2 of new resin
The sanding part is just horrible because it's like sanding glue
@@Keegan_Co oh yeah I understand the glue part friend😂. But thanks for the reaction!
what grit sandpaper did you use
A lot of different grit
80, 120, 220, 300 and 400 were the main ones I used
Respect +
What happen to the next part😢
@timdahlberg468 originally this video didn't do well at all so I never finished the 2nd part that and one of the Fenders completely failed due to a resin issue...

@@Keegan_Co NP mate just wondering sad to hear bout the other fender tho😅
Where did u get the blue flakes ?
Amazon just look up blue foil flakes and that's what I got! It's not the best but it works
@Keegan_Co thanks man.
Nice work.
where did you get the blue flake
Amazon just type in blue foil flakes and it'll pop up
what glue did you use
It was epoxy resin from Amazon
I recommend getting high quality stuff this brand probably wasn't the best for my application
5 months later no update video?
One of the fenders has completely failed so im still working on a fix for it now that I have an actual shop space it'll be much easier
where did u buy the carbon at
I got this stuff on Amazon I think it was 2lbs for $60
I bought enough to experiment with
Still having issues with the resin side of things though
Its funny to me people spare no expense with some things but cheap on others. 2k clear looks a million times better and is just barely more expensive. Why would not not buy it?

Друг , что за синие хлопья ?
это хлопья синей фольги на Амазоне
I speak English so hopefully that's correct 😅
What is the “foil” you used?
Its just colored foil flakes from Amazon 😅 it works though
@@Keegan_Co I like it! Im going to give it a try! Thanks!
-i love my dad-
No hate. But we al know this is not forged carbon😅 looks good tho
Yeah you're right but it creates the look so still kinda cool 😂
I d wear gloves bro when handling the carbon fiber , that stuff is can be nasty
It hasn't been too bad haha 😅 you are right though
That rattle can paint was a horrible idea. That can delaminate and ruin your whole project
I have a camaro how much do you think I would need to do the hood roof and trunk
I would do probably 3lbs of chopped carbon to play it safe
1lbs is more than enough for the hood to give you an idea
😳 Lepiej by bylo to okleić folią! Taniej, mniej pracy i mniejsza waga! Co innego gdyby ony byly cale z carbonu a nie że laminat oblozony carbonem 🤷🏻🤦🏻
szczerze mówiąc, folia kosztowała około 5 dolarów i tak naprawdę nic nie waży 😅 ale nie zgadzam się, że gdyby została wykonana prawidłowo, byłaby znacznie lżejsza i mocniejsza… zależy mi tylko na fajnym wyglądzie i niewielkim zwiększeniu wytrzymałości, aby nauczyć się procesu
Also I don't speak I think polish? So I hope this came out well 😂 I tried though!
deleted the body lines completely
Body lines are still there I did my best to keep them
@@Keegan_Co right on. just cant tell on camera i guess
@devinrovell yeah I was worried about ruining it myself some of it did change but it's not too far gone.. well on one of them that is 😅😂
Its absolutely WRONG- no mask, no gloves. Other people can make a same.
Where did you get the blue foil?
Amazon
Search blue foil flakes or whatever color you're wanting
