Hi All 

Just thought I would ask some of the experts here.

Am I right in thinking this is pre-preg with a matt clear coat? I can't see the traditional laminating / skinning process giving this finish as the fibres feel like they are exposed if that makes sense.



thanks

I guess it is just moulded plastic. Doesn't look like carbon to me. could be Extremely carefully wetted skinning with a matt clearcoat, too. It is certainly not prepreg, as it would have been compressed with a plastic back and therefore would have a semi glossy uneven surface with bag wrinkles.
Maybe it is a cheaper "carbon" foil wrap, they look like this too.
Thanks for the reply
I was thinking the same if it was prepreg the fibres would be compressed, as these don't seem to be , so maybe your right a moulded plastic. however it does look
like carbon fibre maybe just a different laminating process. 
This picture might be clearer.
