Can anyone wrap my 2003 center console (the bottom part with ebrake, ashtray, etc) and all the corresponding lids like ashtray lid and cubby lid, in twill carbon fiber with a clear coat?

I may just try to do it myself but i didn't like the result of my first attempt with CF. I used a 3-1 epoxy and covered a protein powder cap in twill weave. the resin can be dented by my fingernail and marked very easily, so i assume I need to clear coat it. I KNOW i'm a CF noob. I just started and might do it myself, but I want it done RIGHT.. Perfectly... OEM look.

 

Do it yourself and post some pics. I've been wanting to wrap some interior pieces of mine... just afraid to screw it up.

 

if u can dent the resin with your fingernail then it is not dried completely...clearcoat will not make a difference in how hard the resin is...u probably need more hardener to dry it completely.

 

thank you for the tip. I will try putting more hardner than instructed on the bottles.

 

what kind of resin are u using??

 

3 to 1 MEDIUM Epoxy and Hardener on this page:

order the pumps that are on the bottom of the page...it makes it alot easier to mix rather than trying to guess...if it still does not harden switch to another resin...i use System Three Epoxy Resin...SB-112 is the part number...it is perfectly clear, a little more expensive, but it is the best resin ive ever used...it also has some uv-protector in it so it will not turn yellow or fade from being in the sun like some cheaper stuff does...
