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

[D.K]

Tonight's little installment

I am so happy this has come out so well so far
It's now on its 2nd coat of resin.


These are on thier final coat of resin, next stage will be to rub them down and lacquer them




Dans splitter is coming along aswell, top side is on it's final coat of clear, next job will be to sand and smooth it then build up the resin on the underside especially the lead edge, I want to get a nice fat bead of resin on the underside of the lead edge to protect it when rubbing, this will eventually rub down but when it does we can build it up again the same as I've done with mine.

Unfortunately the resin is still a bit soft so I cant do any work tonight

im sure the speed bumps in your area will now be carefully avoided.... ive gone through one LCR splitter and the new one is grazed, only had the car for just over a month

living down a road with 15 bumps with a car slammed on AP's doesnt help hey

It's not too bad, it's pretty low now, you just have to know how slow to go over them

The S3 cover needs a little bit more work to make it fit better, should hopefully get this on today.

Finally got round to dying my Recaros tonight

Before








After












Works on plastic too






Shame it bleed onto the lettering

How did you apply this to your seats? Mine could do with some areas touching up. Do you spray it straight on or put it on a cloth? How long does it take to dry? Thanks

Yep, just spray it on and rub in with either a cloth or sponge, very easy, just makes sure you wear gloves.
I left mine for about 4 days before I drove it, but this time of year it should dry within a couple of hours.
Also might be worth giving them a rub over once they are dry to remove and dye that hasn't dried, I put my snapon seat covers over them for the 1st week in case any came off on my cloth's.

You can never have too much carbon

I wasn't happy with this bit so I sanded it down and started again.

I think what your doing looks really good mate,Wish i lived local to you as i'd ask you to do a few bits for me lol !.

 

[D.K]

Got up early this morning and decided to give the car a quick wash, well that was the idea but I ended up spending 7 hours on it
I started off by washing it with Autobrite direct Banana gloss shampoo then striped all the old wax and sealant with APC before spraying on some Autobrite direct Purple rain de-ironiser.



After about 10 minutes and a bit of agitation


I also decided to loose the "R" badges
