Got tired of factory CARBON look like wrap... Soooo - off it goes! Gonna get some real CF overlay instead!



After removing all the vinyl from factory pieces (it was pain in the ass to be honest...) sanded all the plastic with 40grit (to get surface as routh as posible for epoxyd resin to stick better) and layed few even coats of resin:



Letting resin dry and gettin it to be sticky really helps to lay down CF. After i got CF all around the parts - i still waited a bit for CF cloth to stick to the parts. Once its done - layed few more heavy coats fo resin on top.



After first few coats got dry - sanded all the not needed cf out from the parts - and sanded surface with 80grit - to get some routh inperfections out. And off it goes another few heavy coats.



Tomorow will sand it down even more, with some lighter grit sandpaper - and if it will all even - will shoot clear on it! looks quite better then original to be honest
