does any one know where i cant send peaces out to and have them covered in carbon

 

Any stereo shop that does fiberglass subwoofer enclosures should be able to wrap parts in carbon fiber for you. It's much the same process, so as long as they can get the fiber, they should be able to do it.

 

As far as I know, carbon fiber has to be put in a vacuum to get it tight. Fiberglass doesn't need that.

 

I've done pieces in carbon fiber myself, but I'd recommend vacuum bagging it... my pieces come out alright, but pieces I've seen done in vacuum bagging comes out a lot nicer.

 

I forgot about vacuum bagging...watch the mythbusters episode where they make the personal flying machine to see how that's done.
The stereo shop I used to work at did a carbon fiber covered box and just did it like fiberglass and it came out alright.

 

Man there's a few places that do it on the web, mostly racing companies that build bodies for race cars etc do the work. I was talking to one company some y ears ago about getting the job done but it was pricey. BTW they did't just slap some carbon wrap and apply epoxy to it either. They made molds and all that, but they also offered to wrap the parts too. you can do it yourself but I warn you...it is sh*t work to get perfect if you don't have the right workshop or know how. The more curves in the piece the sh*ttier a time you'll have. What exavtly are you trying to have wrapped?

That shouldn't cost much, that's pretty simple.

 

yea i just gotta get a place to do it. I e-mailed vfn fiberglass

 

For something on the exterior like that, vacuum bagging would probably be the best way to go. I've wrapped my window/doorlock panels, my center console lid, shift panel, and the triangular pieces on the inside that cover the side view mirror bolts (it's on the interior side of the side view mirrors). All in all, wrapping it and covering it in epoxy was pretty darn easy. It's definitely something that shouldn't be shied away from just because it's carbon fiber. It takes some practice, but I jumped right in and started doing it without any practice with fiberglassing or anything, and I can say that I'm happy with all the parts except for my console lid. The console lid came out fine as far as the fiber goes, but I had mixed too much surfacing wax into the epoxy (this makes it easier to sand smooth) and it turned a yellow hue. Add the weight of my elbow on it, and the epoxy wasn't strong enough and got wrinkles from the pressure spot. I plan to redo it this winter, but you live and you learn and the more you do the better it comes out when you get the hang of it.
