Hi,

I'm looking to restore this carbon fibre exhaust shield.

My proposal is sand back the sand back the cracked gel/ resin coat and to reskin it with CF, finishing with epoxy top coat.

It needs to be reasonably temperature resistant.

Could i get this done with a starter kit?

Cheers

Only thing to add is to conduct a postcure on the part to make sure the resin doesnt go soft on its first exposure to heat. A suggested postcure is as follows:
