Hey Kirk ,

I would agree with what Davro says.

I tried skinning and even small parts can take 2 weeks to perfect. Like i did my ignition barrel and even that has a fitting issue so doing panel edges would cause a lot of issues and if you want it as a demo car would you really want scuffed carbon etc?

If you are starting carbon parts / skinning as a company service you better have a lot of time and patience and the best of conditions for letting the epoxy cure.

any moisture in your garage will ruin the coat i have first hand experience with this and it's devastating.

You say about wanting to do skinning instead of infusion and prepreg because of cost but skinning parts will never be as good quality and infusion/prepreg and if i was running a business quality is everything.

If you did get into making molds you can get into pattern making and then your demo car could have custom made body parts exclusive to that car and your company.

I will be doing a full carbon makeover of my car when i have the time away from work and ill be doing it with infusion.
