If you have never done any kind of resin work such as fiberglassing, you are in for a long journey.

I wish I had resources, but at this point, Google is probably your best bet

There are many sites out there that give you instruction on how to wrap parts in cf. Personally, I hate wrapping so I make molds of all my parts and make it pure cf or reinforce it with fiberglass. Here are some sites that helped me out...

http://www.newcelica.org

For the newcelica click on forums and then appearance. It should be at the top. Very quick and easy to follow with pics.

Once again, make sure you practice on a few junk pieces first. Once the resin is on the piece, it sucks to have to sand it off. If you have the time, research on mold making and make cf parts yourself. It's expensive and time consuming though. Good luck
