Hi,

I'll be making some CF wheel arches for my Caterham shortly and would like your recommendations as to a durable (lots of travel will hit them) resin. The arches will remain unpainted and the process I will use is vacuum infusion.

Ta in advance :-)

As I said, impact resistance of the resin really isn't a problem here. And when looking for abrasion resistance, the one thing to worry about is your choice of lacquer, as you almost certainly going to lacquer the parts.
I infused all the wheel arches, and used the standard infusion resin from hp-textiles. Although I never used it, I am 100% sure, that the infusion resin from ec will perform just as good.
