Hey Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
I got a question too: did your fenders ever suffer from distortion or print thru due to the sun rising their temperature? Or are they just painted and then you dont care.
Nice work and its always cool to see DIY'ers reaching their goals
Thanks for the welcome Joe.
To my knowledge, to date theyve never suffered with any kinda problem Re: rise in temperature. However the car they went on ended up being vynl wrapped as oppose to painted.

Nice wing mate. What was the process?
Believe it or not the front wing is a wet lay, vac bagged, air cured.
Hi and welcome.
Did you use quite low pressure for that part?
I am a clay modeller by trade but thinking about re-educating myself,
how long is the composite technician education?
There is no formal qaulification as such as far as I know, its all kinda self taught. Ive been messing around on and off with composites since I was about 18. 8 years ago now. Everything I know & have learnt is self taught or gained via internet hearsay & youtube videos. And then I had a lucky break as my hobby landed me a substianally well paid job/career working in composites
And the rest is history so they say
