i have a cherry rain catcher here in my garage. the one that goes under the engine deck lid.....and i was thinking about fabbing up a mold and producing a few out of carbon fiber. if i take the time to make the mold, would any of you guys be interested in one? they will have an A+ finish on them and be super light. i run a gt decklid, so im thinking of altering a mold to work on the gt decklid if i can do it and still maintain cooling and airflow.
i just finished up a mold for a set of rain hats for my idf 40 webers. 6 cylinder rain hats are also doable..... they have an assortment of carbon weaves with different pattern. they also have hybrid carbon/kevlar weaves that have color.....black/red, black/blue, black/yellow, black/green, and so on. let me know so i know how beefy to make my molds... |

Figured I would chime in on this one, the Polyester Surfboard resin works very well for CF and stands up very well to the elements. It has a small shrink percentage, but not enough to worry about when vacuum bagging the parts. I still use a clear coat, but its more for wetsanding/gloss.
