Hello,
I'd like to CF-copy some automotive parts like rear diffuser, side skirts, etc. which are made of rough plastic with a grainy surface.
I may not sand the surface since I've to give the part back to its owner as is.
Do I need to wax the surface first ? How to polish it ?
What is the process to build a glossy mould from these kind of parts, in order to build aesthetic CF parts from it ?
I'd like to buy the materials from EC as soon as I know how to proceed
Thank you all
French guy here
