Hi guys, I'm looking to skin a set of brake calipers for a guy, has anyone done it? If so what resins best to use? I'm guessing I'd need to pop them in the oven to cure them at a high temp?
Cheers

I would suggest those brake calipers don't see much use ^
One of my main concerns would be the difference in CTE between the carbon and the metal, as this would very likely cause the carbon to delaminate, at least in some areas.
