Hi, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before (I could not find it here), but could you please tell me if it is advisable to use the resin infusion method for skinning? I have a relatively large number of various ABS plastic parts which I need to wrap in CF and it's absolutely crucial to achieve visually perfect and professional finish. I was thinking that by using the Resin Infusion method, i would achieve a much better (tighter) bond, visual finish and since the layer of the resin would be very even, I would also save great amount of time at the final stage as much less sanding would be required... What i"m not sure about however is how the Black Skinning base coat would react to resin infusion and if there is some modification to the standard resin infusion process I could make to improve the finish of the top layer which would normally end up being quite matt after removing the peel-ply..

I agree with Matthieu on this one. Even with a crease free filmor using a perforated release film instead of peel ply, you're still going to have a lot of work to do.
Rememeber with infusion the resin layer will be quite thin leaving little to sand before you damage the carbon.
Not to forget the practicalities on some car parts with vacuum bagging on the originals.
