Theres really nothing to it. Just time.

Peice being used- 2001 Prelude center arm rest

Toolz needed:

1- Carbon fiber cloth (Ebay- $30 an up)
2- Fiber glass resin ($21 an up -Autozone)
3- Super glue( $1- Dollar store)
4- Cutting shears
5- some sort of scrapper (puddy knife)
6- some sort of cardboard to work on
7- Plastic dish
8- Krylon UV protected spray ($8+ shipping -Online)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Get you Carbon fiber Cloth



The cut about 2in bigger the then the peice peice you working with



Then Get your super glue and spread it over the top of the peice an lay the carbon fiber over the top. Make sure its flat an smooth when you do this. Also make sure you super glue the edge an any curves so it looks clean at the end.



Now that it is wrapped an pretty much stuck on there, get your resin



Mix it the way it says in to a plastic dish. The dump a small amount in the middle of the object. Spread it evenly an slow motion(dont want bubbles) into the carbon. about 1hr before the resin cures an put another coat. If you do only one coat, you can still feel the carbon threw the resin. :cool



Now after you let it sit an cured for the for how ever long it says. sand it smooth. Dont sand it to the carbon fiber. If you a little wary about doing this, spray some clear to fill in the small bumps.,then sand, Repeat this process until it smooth.

Last step is to use some Krylon UV spray, only if dont use UV protect resin. Put a few coats of this spray an wet sand it in between so the resin wont yellow.




Thats pretty Much about it. I dont know if thats the "right way", but it works for me

Carbon fiber speedo anyone? Cool thread man...can you do a shift knob, see how it turns out/feels, maybe I'd attempt one if it ain't too hard. Food for thought...

I've been thinking abut messing around with some carbon fibre for a while. I'd like to look into making molds off stuff and making replacements for them though. I'm not too keen on overlays.

I'd really REALLY like a CF replacement for my glass sunroof.
