Have a look on YouTube for EC's latest tutorial about making an offset mould.
For cosmetic parts, generally ~0.65-0.75mm is thick enough. If you are consolidating the layup with vacuum, that thickness is typically achieved with a single layer of a 200g woven carbon, and a single layer of a 450 or 650g woven carbon. Or you could do 3 layers of the 200g, etc. Basically the fibre weight corresponds pretty closely to the thickness is will add to the laminate, ie. a 200g fabric will add around 0.2mm, a 450g fabric will add around 0.4mm, a 650 around 0.6mm etc.
