Hey guys, novice here with some questions... I recently bought a front lip for my car which is made of unpainted polypropylene plastic.
Instead of making a fibreglass mould from it. Is it possible to laminate carbon fibre directly onto it after applying a release agent?
Would it damage the front lip if i remove the carbon fibre from it do you think?
Would these be the basics steps?:
- Release agent - single wax layer or single pva layer? or both? (wax layer and then pva layer) ? which is better - epoxy resin layer - wait til tacky - carbon fibre cloth - epoxy resin - wait to fully cure - sand low grit to high grit - and then one last epoxy resin layer? wait to fully cure - sand again low grit to high grit
how do i know when to stop applying layers of epoxy resin layers? until it’s completely smooth/flat? and if another resin layer is added. does it end with sanding again or is the resin layer the last step?
does it then need a uv resistant clear coat because it’s exposed to the sun? or will the epoxy resin be enough?
do i then go ahead and use detailing compound/cut and polish/wax for the perfect glossy look?
thanks guys
