Some pics of my bits:





The first pics was my first attempt, i used the wet and dry paper dry, so could not seem the carbon weave when i was sanding so sanded too much and took off some carbon, don\'t do this!

[ENVYD]

i just sprayed in the corners lol! like i said every thing was masked off!
 
i used suede for the dash mate!
 
Rob there look good! need to get them mirror covers done too!

[Bobbit]

Mirror covers?

[ENVYD]

[ENVYD]

[Bobbit]

My dremel

Best thing to use to cut it guys is a stanly knife, but don\'t let the resin set solid, Allow it to dry for about 12 - 15hrs, then trim it with a knife.... it is still a little flexable and you don\'t put small chips & cracks in the resin

Just took delivery of:

1/4 sq/m of 2x2 200gsm twill carbon fabric
1/2 mtr carbon tape plain weave
300 mls of epoxy resin ( 250 resin 50 ml hardner)
1 pot of high density filling powder
1 pot low density filling powder
3 mixing cups
2 pairs of gloves
2 mixing sticks
2 syringes

Should be enough to get me going... Then I\'ll order some more and see what I can do.
Plan is to flock the dash (got a flocking kit from frosts) then make carbon copies of the heater control and dials face, dome and all the heater vents. Then I can remove the original parts and have pure carbon bits light as poss as its a track car.

Wish me luck!

Let me know if you ever need any more gloves or syringes. Can get some from work if you like.
