SHOULD I DO THIS???, carbon fiber creations Options

[Phat_99CeliGT]

id be interested too.

my 5th gen mirrors and my top deck on my invader wing.

i got a price from another guy to wrap them, but if u can beat it, ill have u do them.

I would get my mirrors (actually I'd like 5th gen mirrors) Anyone got some for sale?
I'd also be interested in: gauge pod
my supra style spoiler (not mine yet, but close enough)
plastic mold that goes @ the base of the shifter in autos

If you can make the gauge pod and cover the other stuff for me that would be great. I did a lot of cf stuff on my car already so I know its pretty tricky. Thanks for offering to do all this stuff.

OKAY GUYS, HERE IS THE DEAL. I GOT 2 MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL LEFT. AFTER I GET DONE W/ EXAMS......I AM GOING TO A JUNKYARD AND BUYING **** FROM MESSED UP CELIS AND WRAPPING THEM. I WILL POST A LOT OF PICS!!! ALOOOTTTTTT OF EM. I can do them for people who are serious.......I am not too sure how much stuff will cost, but I can swear I am not trying to rip anyone off. I just want money for labor......cause its a lot of work. Here is how you do it, for anyone who wants to do it themselves:

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CARBON FIBER PARTS OR WRAP CARBON FIBER STUFF:

step 1: buy "carbon fiber cloth" off ebay......normally they're around $30 for a good roll. I got the 2x2 twill ones....which is pretty thick.

step 2: buy the Resin and Hardener......you can buy these at Michaels or A.C Moores......any arts and craft store. it'll be in the wood stuff area. Its in a purplish/blue box and on the box is a pic of the resin being poured on a table. I'll post the name of the resin and stuff later, when I get back home. These resin are normally from $8-$42, You'll be using a lot of resin actually....so get a lot of em.

step 3: mix equal part resin and equal part hardener in a disposable bowl, and brush it on your part w/ a disposable brush.

step 4: place your carbon fiber piece on the part, wrap it well.......and put resin over the carbon fiber.

step 5: you gotta wait for it to dry in 24 hours

step 6: cut excess carbon fiber after it dries...I use a special saw tool, and I sand the edges

step 7: put another layer of resin on, and wait for it to dry in 24 hours

step 8: sand it down w/ 40 grit, then 80 grit, then 200, then 400 grit
make sure you clean off the sand dust.

step 9: put another layer of resin on it, and wait for it to dry

step 10: repeat step 8 again

step 11: it should be nice now.......so clean off all the sand dust....and spray a good few layers of clear on it so it'll be shiny.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY I AM TAKING REQUESTS.........IF I CAN DO A BUNCH OF PARTS ALL AT ONCE, I CAN WAIT FOR IT TO DRY AND PUT ANOTHER LAYER ON.......DOING ONE PART BY ONE WOULD TAKE ME FOREVER TO DO.

You should make an official how to and make it on something easy...say...a fuel lid? Which, by the way, I will buy if you find one at a junkyard and I see pics and i like em

[Coomer]

Do you use epoxy resin? Or is it polyester resin that's used on fiberglass?

[toyotaspeed_90]

since you know how to use CF... you should have an understanding of fiberglass as well... you should make molds and then make the parts of glass & CF instead of just wrapping them.....
