Hi all just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself, I live just outside Glasgow I am in the car detailing business. I am interested in making car panels and thought the best place to start learning is here so be gently with me if I ask some stupid questions lol. HeheHehe

About the costs, I suppose you are starting with composites materials so you dont have anything at the moment? the problem is you'll need to buy everything the kg.
you'll need:

Moulds
releasagent
gelcoat
fiberglass
brusshes 
cups 
gloves

Parts
Carbonfiber
Epoxy
vacuumbagging supply
vacuumpump



Cost will go up quite quickly to get started, but its something worth doing! you might encounter some problems here and there along the road, but once you made those wing mirror covers you'll just want to make more stuff BigGrin
