Group: Forum Members Posts: 133, Visits: 566	Hello, I'd like to CF-copy some automotive parts like rear diffuser, side skirts, etc. which are made of rough plastic with a grainy surface. I may not sand the surface since I've to give the part back to its owner as is. Do I need to wax the surface first ? How to polish it ? What is the process to build a glossy mould from these kind of parts, in order to build aesthetic CF parts from it ? I'd like to buy the materials from EC as soon as I know how to proceed Thank you all French guy here
