4 Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 13	Hi I am currently building a Datsun 240Z and wanted to make some of the parts from carbon fibre. The body shop repaired all of the body parts, sanded them and primiered them ready to be painted. This is how it is now. So that the mold won't stick to the primer what is the best thing to do? Do I have to paint the parts or atleast clearcoat them?

So basically if i just wax the 2K primered body parts and use easyeasy lease, there should be little risk of the fiberglass mold sticking to the 2k primered steel parts? Thanks for your help ! This are my first complex parts. Until know I just made same small carbon patches on a sheet of glass, for sending them to get tested for street aproval. I always recommend to make a small scale test if you are working with materials and or processes you are not familiar with. It will save you time and headaches in the long run, especially on a big process like this! Other than that make sure to keep us posted! I'm not a car guy but love the 240Z from street bandito so this will be a good one!

Depends what your plans are ? I guess your going to paint the primed panels ? Since primer absorbs moisture your supposed to get your top coat on ASAP Why not top coat and mould off that ? If you don...

I am in a similar position to you. I have a matt finished car and I want to take a mold without waxing the matt finish on the plug parts. I was wondering if a very thin stretchy material maybe a bit....

Guys, with advanced composites always keep in mind: there's no shortcuts. You get out what you put in, so if you start cutting corners it will always reflect in the end product. Whether that is...
