Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 14	Hi, Any suggestions as to how to put a great looking logo onto a finished carbon fibre part? I'm thinking a logo in silver should look good against the carbon fibre background. I'm guessing silver wording on a clear adhesive label would do if quality wasn't an issue, but how would you go about it if the only concern was making the finished part look really professional? Thanks in advance!

The easiest way is to apply the graphics to the part and then clear coat over the top, this is ok but the graphics will still be slightly proud of the surrounding surface. The other way is a bit more tricky. I spray the mould with GC50 Gelcoat, after about three hours and while the gelcoat is still tacky apply the graphics (cut in mirror image). I then continue with a normal infusion. This way the graphics become integral to the part encased in the resin. If you don't have access to a plotter/cutter drop me a line I may be able to help.
