Hello all

This is my first time doing anything related to making moulds and finer glass panels but like everything else I want a steep learning curve and start big.
So my project...

My brother has the new Jaguar f type coupe and I want to create a mould of the car, to use for my kit car/replica project.

Can someone help me out, start from the top and basically outlined the steps I would have to undertake to prep the car and create the mould without damaging the car. I assume i can't do the whole car in one go and lift the mould off and taking the car apart isn't an option either, so whatever I do I have to do on the car.



If i start with with the following steps can you guys help add to it and help me develop a full plan

step 1 - clean the car
-remove contaminants
-remove wax

step 2 - 
- Apply release agent to the car

Thats about as far as I've got :/

Are you wanting to make replica panels for the whole car, as in make the bonnet and doors so they're all fully functional? If so then no, you'll have to take the car apart.

Or are you saying you want to make a kit car body that is just one whole piece, kind of like the body of a nascar car (so you'd have to climb in through the windows). If this is the case then you could do it with a multiple piece mold (very multiple!) and just do the bonnet separate.
