D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

Made a bit more progress with the splitter

The under side is now all wrapped and sealed with clear coat resin, just needs a coat of lacquire.

Last night I wrapped the top side

Excess trimed off

I got up nice and early this morning and applyed the first coat of clear resin and left it to dry in the sun, tonight it's been filed down to shape and sanded ready for the next coat of clear resin.

Not going to suit your car Darren. I will do you a favour and take it off you and stick it on mine. It's the least a mate could do

I was hoping to have the splitter ready to lacquire this weekend but the final coat of clear resin has had a bad reaction to something

Going to have to wait for it to fully harden off and then rub it all down again
Oh well, here's a couple of the good bit's.

2 new bit's I'm working on

I really need to finish things I start, I staterd this ages ago

 

[MarkWales]

Shame about the reaction - Carbon looks amazing on it

 

[t0m]

Hopefully it'll be ok once it's re-done mate.

Looks the dogs dangleys where it's gone well anyway. Going to look so good once on the car

Spring clean
Polished with Autoglym SRP

I fancied a change from the wekstatte sealents so decided to have an other go with the Chamical guys XXX wax

Good bit of cleaning, perfect day for it mate

 

[D.K]

Managed to sand down most of the contaminted layer of resin, it's a bit cloudy in places but hopefully once it's lacquired and fitted they wont show

 

[jonjay]

Daz how many layers of resin have you put on? What sand paper did you use, i.e. how fine of a grade did you go up to? I would advise against lacquering at this stage - speak to me before you do anything more.

Looking forward to seeing the splitter done, its going to be awesome

It had 3 thick layers but I've taken the 3rd one off, whats left is'nt great to be honest It's been wet sanded using grit's 120 to 1500 and now it's really smoot I was planing on lacquering it next weekend, what did you have in mind ? I dont think the resins deep enough to get a good deep polished look.
