Congratulations on the final result and above all for your patience, a piece so large with this technique I would not do it even under torture :D
For your sake and your loved ones always use protective equipment even when handling dry fiber and resin, it has nothing to envy to asbestos in terms of toxicity
Wahnsinn, super video und das ganze auto ist hammer geworden. Respekt :)
Not bad, most videos I've seen using forged carbon have matted the fibers down with resin before vacuum bagging, helps with no loose strands and buildup, nice job
Awesome work man :)
Looks amazing
Good work mate 🔥🔥🙏
Gave me confidence to do my fenders next month
SUBSCRIBED 👌 Awesome job on the bumper. Looking forward to more videos on this build. Keep up the good work man 💪
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Ronald Zain instablaster :)
@Benedict Samir Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Benedict Samir It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Ronald Zain happy to help =)
You killed it
Awesome Job ..... I know how you felt when sanding
Really good effort Alex. its such a pain to do this isnt it. good on you for sticking with it. looks nice :D
Thanks man, it really was a painful process, I honestly can't imagine doing this again to a bumper 😅
@@LXGspec I didnt realise it was a skin, i thought youd made the whole thing outta it, but yes, when resin sets its a massive ball ache to rub it down flat. Im lucky we dont have to do that so i commend you on your effort. Wings will be easier at least lol
Very Nice Job 👏👏👏
Dedication. I know how difficult this is to do too as I've just done my mirrors. I was going to do my rear bumber but I've decided to do a mold over that and then an infusion.
Good work👍
@david hawa do a video and let me know how it goes david 👍
absolut geil
Geiles Auto und geiler Typ ❤🔥
Super cool
Amazing! :))))))))
subscrribed! IT CAME OUT VERY NICE. I'm thinking about doing this but still looking for a good place for materials.
Great job, what did you use for your vacuum bag setup?
Would black gel coat as the base be an alternative option so you don't have to deal w/ spraying primer?
How would you make this without an actual fiberglass bumper? Would I need to make a very precise mold and layer it a lot?
how fast drying hardner did you use in first part when apply forged carbon in vacuum bag
Mate this looks awesome!!
Thank you!
Quick question if i may! Where did you get that vacuum bag and pump from??? Your answer would be much appreciated, thank you!
Top Sahne das Teil!
Nice job where did you buy the vacuum bag with the vacuum cleaner attachment ? Thanks
nice
Vacuum bagging why to go as it pushes the fibres flatter keep it up bro
hello you great job just tell me if the bumper withstands hard hits against the curb/kerbstone etc? google transylator
What size of chopped fiber did you use? 6mm?
Where can I find vacuum bag plastic that big ?
Looks killer. What epoxy did you use
Just vinyl wrapped my Yukon in vvivid + Forged Carbon vinyl wrap. Highly suggested if you want a very similar look without the mess. My whole suv is done in a dark grey ghost forged carbon wrap with a matte/satin-like finish and looks amazing! Otherwise, this looks like another fun method with a little more work.
Should end 2500 grit sandpaper then wet sand itthe hard work pays off
Do you have a link to the carbon forge
Is chopped up carbon strong or is it for decoration?
Where can I purchase the carbon flakes?
How do you know how far to sand down? I’m gonna try but that’s the one left I need to figure out.
As long as the Dust is not getting Black, you good to go. Otherwise you do not harm much the Opticks because it is nor reguar weved skin.
Cool video, but it is not forged CF, as for that you would need to apply very high pressure (much higher than in autoclave, just like you do in case of forged metal parts, with a die). None the less, keep up the good work👍
Great video. I’m thinking to follow you process. However if I need to drill some 20mm holes through the piece would it be better to drill the holes before or after the process?
Thanks.
after
super geil!
Bin durch ein TikTok video ( XD ) auf das Auto und dann auf dich gestoßen und habe jetzt auch vor bei mir am Auto ein paar teile mit Forged Carbon zu laminieren.
Das Tutorial finde ich spitze.
Aber ein paar fragen offen wären noch offen, vielleicht kannst du sie mir beantworten?
Was ist dass genau für eine Blaue folie ?
Was für ein Stoff legst du auf die Blaue Folie?
Was ist das genau für ein Tape welches du nutzt?
Ist der rote Beutel ein extra Vakuumbeutel?
Was ist das genau für ein Adpater mit dem du das Vakuum aufbaust( ziehst ? ) ?
und zu guter Letzt, wo bekomme ich das am besten alles her ?
Würde mich über eine Antwort von dir sehr freuen!
I think if you rolled the carbon after you lay it. It would have been less sanding to do.
Song name at 10 minute mark?
Хорошая работа,хорошая девушка,подскажи плиз чем покрывал пластик???что за адгезив???
How is this TUV/HU accepted ?😊
This is great work, I'm considering redoing my dash in with this and watching yours has been a great help.
Out of curiosity now you've done a few panels do you have a rough rough kg/m2 this spreads? My local distributor sells it in 1kg bags of chopped 13mm lengths. Wondering if I'll need one or two for the dash.
He talks about this in another video: ruclips.net/video/VV7h5cEeqvc/видео.html
I think it was in the Outro, hope that helps 👍
@@kiwiliqueur legend thanks!
Hi, what size are the carbon flakes you are using, so the length. I am from Germany and i am thinking about doing this to some of my motorcycle parts.
The flakes are mostly between 15 and 25mm
Are you selling these bumpers??
schön
HELLO,fantastic job.
what epoxy resin have you used?
For this application specifically I used XCR Epoxy Coating Resin from Easy Composites in the UK, but I believe you can use all kinds or regular laminating resin for somthing like this!
@@LXGspec thank you.
What’s a recommended epoxy resin to use alike the one used in this video?

Thank you !!🙏
Das helle verrät das du gleich uns Eck wohnst :D würde mich mal Life interessieren wie das aussieht ... Ich tüftel da auch an ein paar teilen :P
Bin leider grad wieder in NRW weil Kiste hier steht, sind öfter aber in Bayern weil Schwiegereltern dort leben ;)
Hey man!
What is the weight after that? And do you know the weight before this? :-) But beautiful result!
Thank you! I didn't weigh it but I probably added around 750 gram of carbon and another 750 of resin (after sanding down). This isn't exactly the best method for maximizing weight reduction but it is actually adding strength to parts that have been rather thin to begin with.
Is that release film that you have under the breather?
perforated yeah
hey man ! how many KG of the carbon fibre did you order, and what size were they ? 15mm?
Glad you're asking I probably should've mentioned that! Yes they're 15mm and I used about 750grams being somewhat conservative, having a full kg of flakes should get you plenty enough material for a great finish.
@@LXGspec where did you order the carbon from? It turned out fantastic btw!
@@jerryinman6636 Appreciate it! I was lucky and got mine from the guy that built my bonnet but you can usually buy em in the UK from Easy Composites or just from China, type chopped carbon into aliexpress! I'm pretty sure there is more places that offer it too! Hope that helps.
@@LXGspec thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing your fenders done next....once you have feeling back in your hands from the bumper of course🤣🍻🍻
@@jerryinman6636 Haha thank you! They've recovered and gonna start on the fenders this week still! 😂
Hello, if it's not difficult to share what materials you use, I want to try to do it in Russia
Take any laminating epoxy and follow its instructions and for carbon you can search for 'chopped carbon' on AliExpress!
@@LXGspec Thank you, how much is approximately a gram per square meter
Nice project! Maybe lower the volume of the music on the next video :)
Thanks I will!
where did you get the flakes from?
Got em from the guy that built my bonnet but you can usually buy em in the UK from Easy Composites or just from China, type chopped carbon into aliexpress.
@@LXGspec Haven't find any website in germany which sells chopped carbon 😂 but thanks for your tips 👍
@@jonast.5438 You're welcome! Yeah I couldn't find any in Germany myself.
Just get normal carbon cut it with scissors
How many grams of carbon were needed?
750g to 1kg
The chop needs to be thicker. These just look like strands.
Why do people like the look of scrap of carbon?
+6kg :)
Are you from Germany?
Yea brother
@@LXGspec Riesen Respekt!!! Ich bin Lackieremeister und weis was die ganze Schleiferei für eine arbeit ist, da ich selbst teile mit Carbon überziehe.
Freu mich jetzt schon auf das Ergebnis, wenn die Teile montiert sind💪
@@marvinfrank9756 danke! ja ist ganz schön hart manchmal 😅
@@LXGspec Also als weiter so!💪 bin gespannt aufs nächste Video. Machst du das ganze Auto in forged Carbon?
@@marvinfrank9756 ne nur die front :)
The volume difference between the talking and music is so annoying. Very interest in the video as I'm looking to do my diffuser soon but that volume change drove me nuts!
Yeah well, I'm pretty new to this, I apologize.I'll try to do better in the future.
@@LXGspec just annoying, was watching thos on my tv and the volume was going crazy. Bumper looks mint though, so much work to get the desired effect, I'm looking at skinning my fd2 civic diffuser in plain weave carbon.. I'm not sure I'm confident enough to give it a go yet 😅
I’ve got an idea... How about we set the music audio 20x louder than the speaking audio
I apologize, I'm new to this and as you can see I am not very good at this yet.
Loud music or low volume talking. Very irritating to have to put up with.
