So I picked up a carbon fibre part the weekend for quite cheap. There’s a few problems with it but I thought I could use it as a little project.
So the carbon on it looks okay, it’s unused, there’s a few deforms parts or the carbon but the main parts looks good. The resin or coating looks really poor though, I don’t know what has been done to it but there’s lots of dimples in and thick and thin parts of where’s the resins dries quickly.

Thanks!

It will if you know your way around a spray gun. If you don't quite know how to get a glass flat surface with a spray gun then it might be worth practising a bit first.
