I'm looking through some of Koenigseggs work and i'm falling in love with the look of raw carbon fiber. What they are doing is basically sanding and polishing down the thin layer of epoxy to get down to the raw carbon fiber.
I have played around with the idea using resin infusion, but as soon as im getting down to the fibers im breaking and tearing them down and basically ruining the look.
Im also not sure how to deal with UV when you can't use clear coat on top.
Anyone played around with the idea and got any tips and tricks?

They are also using pre-preg which is oven cured so it may be a combination of very careful sanding and also the fact the resin will be harder to start with thus its easier to sand without cutting so...

You can use a brush to put a thin layer of epoxy, wait for it to cure, and them sand and polish it.
