Hey guys, (and girls.. what few of you are on this forum), Ive been doing some research on Carbon Fiber and Carbon Kevlar and need some help and opinions. (Ive had plenty experience with fiberglass and feel comfortable with CF)

1. Going with Resins, what would you recommend? Im looking for something with UV protection so that the CF won't fade over time, CK I don't think I'll have to worry about since it already is Yellow and Black

2. I will be doing some custom CF/CK work on my Nismo V2 front, Sides and will be building a custom rear with diffuser. (Also working on a Vortex Generator like the EVO's have made with CK) What material would you think looks best on Black ?? Im leaning toward CK only because it is so unique. (opinions only please).

just clearcoat it when your done and u wont have to worry about any resin fading from the sun...i dont know of any resin that does have a uv protector in it.

oh and carbon kevlar is alot harder to work with cuz its thicker than carbon fiber...remember that if u have something with tight spots to work into. good luck.

ive done lots of stuff on the west coast dude. send it over if u cant get it going...for clearcoat i'd say just ask your body shop what they use. i use some stuff from the local shop, its good stuff.
