My car has stripes over it and these are going to be in laquered carbon... this is easy on the rear as its a carbon part, but the tub isnt and I have no intention of replacing the tub soooo.

I decided to infuse carbon onto the roof... rubbed it back to gel coat and then 2 layers of carbon.

Made a new mistake by not using any peal ply or any kind of flow material and the pump struggled to pull the resin through the weave, I had to litterally help help it through using a squeegee
All worked out good in the end though Smile

Hi Andy,

I don't think you realise just how well you're doing with such a ridiculouslyambitious project! The clip is a triumph of skill and determination overdifficulty and even the infused 'skin' stripes seem to continue your Midastouch. If the bean-counting ever gets boring then I know where I'd turn if Iwas you!

Can't wait to see more, your project is inspiring a lot of people.

Matt

Started to make the inner panels for the rear clip... I was going to remake them but decided it wasnt worth the extra work as they are only functional and MAY be coated in an underseal. Unlike original panel Im going to give them a large return and bond them in so that the rear spoiler actually bolts through it, should be massively stronger and yet not add much weight into the clip.

First task was to remove the original underseal... this job was an absolute joy lol

Anyhow after a quick sand I painted them in a 2 pack paint, sanded them back again and repainted them.. hope to start applying gel coat tomorrow after a few return barriers to allow bagging.

Pic is a little boring so I added one of the new spoiler I bought lol
