Hello mates
I would like to know how to achieve complex printing on carbon fiber.
I would like to do something like this (picture found on a shop so it's possible)
If possible I would like to invoid clear coating because my bodyshop painter had a lot of work clear coating my infused parts (lot of pinholes which forced him to a LOT of layers and of course sanding between each one)
I asked to a serigraphic shop if they can print on carbon fiber and it would be a first try for them so if I can give them some advices, it would be a time/money saver.
Do you know how this printing can be done and if clear coats are necessary, what product can I buy for a carbon fiber specific application? (I saw in the last easy composites video a "phantom clear")
Thank you everybody

I always used a fast laminating resin rather than a low viscosity infusion resin, altough i doubt it will make too much of a difference. But the higher viscosity and the better polymerization in thin...
