Mk4Gaz Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Some of you guys may have seen my latest project on bookface, but I thought I'd share my latest mod on here. Most of you know that I like to dabble with fibreglass and carbon fibre in my spare time, but I'd never tried carbon skinning. I've wanted to try it for ages, and thought about a half carbon steering wheel. I finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago, and ordered all the stuff I'd need, and had a go with my old stock steering wheel - which came out ok, but it taught me a lot during the process. For the last week, I've spent a couple of hours a day in the garage, and finally finished my momo wheel today. I'm really pleased with the results, but it's definitely tested my patience a few times! It's been refinished in satin black, and the carbon has been lacquered in 2k, for uv protection. It needs a final wet flat and polish, but I'll leave that for a couple of weeks, to allow it to fully cure. Pictures show various stages of the process, and the finished result [ATTACH]212903[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212904[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212907[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212908[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]212913[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Looks great mate, not an easy part either! Where did you order it mate? I have been thinking about having a go with a few bits. was looking at various starter kits but the amount of carbon you get is minimal.
