Just started my first go at carbon skinning and it appears that it's going to need a lot of resin too smooth it out as after 2 Coates the carbon is still sticking through the resin

what grade is the carbon ?

2 x 2 twil 3k it's the stuff you get in the carbon mods skinning kits

dont know then.. i had a similar problem with 450gsm but thats because it was so heavy.

dude, how you can wrap something with 450gsm? o.O

Does carbon fiber swell with resin

resin gets between single strands of cf, so it is hard to anwser, I would say no but as I said resin gets between strands :o

That makes more sense so approx 4 costs of resin. What's the best way to avoid pin pricks?

to avoid pin holes you have to use less sticky resin or heat up your resin or use tiny brush to fill all the pinholes with resin
