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

how did you get the factory vinyl to come off so well? im having a hard time
