Hello, I'm going to make a Carbon bonnet skin for my track car, I already have made a mold and i just want to make sure i'm buying the right amount of cloth and resin.

The bonnet is a nice simple shape 1.3 Meters x 0.9 Meters and i'm going to wet lay it as i have no kit for bagging yet.

I was planning on buying: 

3 meters of 2/2 twill 200g
3 meters of 290g glass fabric
2 kgs epoxy resin

I'm planning on coating the mold with a layer of resin and letting it set overnight then a later of carbon twill, 2 layers of glass fabric and then another layer of carbon twill.

Will that be enough layers and resin for a bonnet skin?

Thanks
Darren
