ripped_fear Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Major set back today, sent it off to be clear coated and for some reason the lacquer turned the wrap black despite the test being fine?? God knows why. So spent ages stripping it back, think the next option is to carbon skim it which could cause problems for the GB as Im not sure I will be able to keep the price down. The other option is to carbon wrap it and just be happy without it being glossy although for me personally I'm not sure I would be happy. Going to order a carbon skim kit and see how I get one. Im affraid guys the wait is going to be a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Did you build up the same amount/coats of lacquer in the test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Personally I'm not overly fussed if the process pushes the price up at all! Your time obviously costs money to so don't do your self out of money or your time! looking good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Being familiar with the skinning process, I can tell you now that this will push the price up a fair bit of you're taking your own time into account mate. Good luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm interested dependant on the fit and finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeG Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 We did say clear coat on carbon wrap wouldn't work....., I wouldn't mind paying extra for the carbon skinning, I have been after one of these for ages so the extra wait and money won't bother me mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm going to do my own in carbon skin I think, and this will tell me if its a fesable thing to do for around 15 items, As Stevo has stated it is going to take allot of time.(He should know) I dont mind putting in the work, just not sure I actually have enough spare time with work and my own build, to do the quantity I hoped plus the price will go up. The original price does not cover my hours but if carbon skinning is the way this goes I will have to charge a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What about doing some just plain and ready for paint? I'm not fussed about it being carbon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
