The BEST looking forged carbon skinning technique!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- În this video I'm trying a better way to do some forged carbon skinning. This method involves cutting your own carbon flakes and laying them up one by one for a better looking end result. While it may sound tedious to lay up every flake one by one, it will require less work afterwards compared to other methods! Enjoy!

I find doing a sanding coat can make the next layer look cloudy even with washing and cleaning stuff when doing chopped carbon so I don’t now. Just do base coat then stick the chopped carbon down then do 3/4 coats of resin then do the cutting around clean up and level out more. Then one last resin coat. Leave for a few days then do the sanding grading before UV clear coat hope this helps anyone
Good advice. And yes, epoxy resin would go all cloudy because it's still gassing off, and the clear coat isn't allowing the gasses to escape!
Thx for a great tip 👍
You gave that trim a new life👍
As usual you're an inspiration to me.
What I've done with interior pieces is.
Black base layer
Lay carbon
1st epoxy layer
Vacuum bag
Key epoxy with 120
Tack rag
Do another 3 to 6 layers of expoy
Sand with 60 grit to 400 grit.
Clear coat
Sand with 1200
Sand with 2000
Cut and polish
What would differ for exterior pieces? Nice write up
@@VictorFlores-fc7pb make sure the resin and clear coat doesn't go yellow in UV light
Love the look of the big flakes
Looks great! ❤
Great work mukka
That looks amazing, i love it.
When I did some forged carbon skinning to my interior, i used the easy composites chopped tow, but its a bit too much if a fabric texture and gives annalmost fluffy appearance. I really like this syle, so I think I'm goingnto guve it a go.
Nice work 🍻👍
Thanks! 100% with you on the easycomposites chopped carbon, I'm not gonna do any other skinning method any longer besides this one 👌
I had the same so wait till sticky’s then pull apart the chopped carbon and lay as flat as possible. Then add more if needed use a metal roller to help flatten. Then get a plastic shopping bag and put the part inside and pull tight twist the end and tape up it’s better than vac bag so won’t push out of shape
thanks man
Very nice
It looks so cool! Can you please provide some links for the exact carbon fiber material to buy ?
Great job man!
Great job mate! Really inspiring, one question, i see people talking about bubbles issue, how did you avoid that ? Thanks
I love your work i would love to ship you some parts to have them done
Hi! Greate video! Do you know any XCR black epoxy alternative?
Nice
Awesome project!! Just one question, doesn't using clear coat 2 part resin with your airbrush ruin it? Won't some of it sediment inside? is it not an issue? I would love to try but i dont want to ruin my only airbrush
Welcome to the large carbon flake skinning process I did my bonnet and side garnish on my 33 this way
Thanks! Definitely not going back 😅
Wauw mucho geil. Du has mihr inspired!!! Ich mach das auch fur meine subaru aber auch mit ein bische gold !!!
What model of air brash and compressor are you using?
What kind of brush do you use to stick the carbon the brush
Wow Perfect looking mate 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😍 I will try this on my helmet, it’s matter which first coat? Or possible to make black colour and after this epoxy?
Where do i get the carbon sheet in that exact lenghts etc
I have no idra whats going wrong with my carbon skinning. It just goes really black and cant see any of the shine of the carbon. Im using crystal clear epoxy but no clue why its just black
Can you use glitter with carbon forging
Would vacuum wrapped work better?
How come no peel ply after u put the carbon on?
to save on brushes, you can use a rubber spatula
Thanks I'll give em a shot!
Excuse me ? Where did you get that carbon fiber ?
By the way I love your videos!!!🙏🏼
Hi buddy! Could you advise for how long did you wait after applying the carbon on the black epoxy? Did you fully dry the “wetted” carbon layer or just wait few hours for the B-stage and then continue with the epoxy layers?
Hey might not be the person you wanted but maybe the person you need. It's imperative to wait for the B stage, it's one of those crucial moments in my experience, it really makes the carbon stick solidly.
What kind of carbon did you use?
How do you calculate the amount of resin you need per part ?
Im from Mexico, I wuld like to buy this materials and lear to work whit it
Where can I buy those epoxy you used in this video,bro?
Where'd you buy that roll of carbon fiber?
Good effort, should have done ashtray at same time
What type of brush?
How much resin do you need for a full interior on a sedan trim pieces?
For my trim piece I mixed up around 15g of resin per coat.
Where can I buy the products you use and any advice is gonna be my first time trying
I get all my stuff from easycomposites.eu pretty much. The best advice I'd say is just trying yourself at it, experience is what matters a fair bit in composites work, but at the same time it's not rocket science in terms of such diy projects!
Per un miglior risultato e soprattutto per una miglior compattazione , quando hai fatto il MOSAICO e bagnato con la resina METTI TUTTO IN UN SACCO E FAI IL VUOTO , la superficie verrá subito liscia e lo spessore più basso...una scartata e puoi verniciare subito 😉
how long did you wait between each layer ? For drying 👍
Usually 2 hours for reaching the b-stage for the xcr resin at room temp, but different epoxies/hardener combos need a different amount of time! Just wait for a while and do it when it's super sticky but no longer comes off easy!
Sieht gut aus, wollte das Dach an meinem firebird machen. Aber bin mir nicht sicher ob das was wird😅
probiers zuerst mit nem kleineren Teil, wo es nicht so weh tut, wenn es schiefgeht.
Good job, but should have done the ash tray as well.
it's good but you are adding weight
lol
Make sure you wear eye protection dude. Carbon splinters is no joke. Good job though.
