Bob Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 If you buy the fabric, you also need the resin. CF is a bit like fibreglass in the way its applied, but it's a lot of work to get the perfect end result. Best bet is google a few guides on laying CF first. Have a look on http://www.cfsnet.co.uk for FG and CF stuff. Decent prices too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 cool my plans are to try source a dash to do it on first so if i mess up i still have one, one also to cove my boot build in it to get it looking sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 probs worth getting some mdf and cutting out a plank and cutting some small and large holes in to get a idea of what it would be like on the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Its not too bad to work with, i would make a template of the dash so that you can cut the right amound before you start. Make sure you use masking tape on the edges of the fabric when you cut it (cut the cf a few cm's too big all the way round) otherwise it will fray and leave gaps.
