Hi
I am currently building a Datsun 240Z and wanted to make some of the parts from carbon fibre. The body shop repaired all of the body parts, sanded them and primiered them ready to be painted.

I am in a similar position to you. I have a matt finished car and I want to take a mold without waxing the matt finish on the plug parts. I was wondering if a very thin stretchy material maybe a bit....
