Bigballa39213 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Epoxy resin is what you use on carbon/kevlar. Using a gelcoat would be your best bet since you're using a color carbon/kevlar. 98 Chevy Blazer 4 Door Stock Everything The New Setup 1 - Pioneer AVH-P5200DVD 1- Pioneer DEH-80PRS 2 - Blues Audio 5.25 Mids ( On the dash ) 2 - Blues Audio BL8.0C Components ( In the front doors ) 2 - Blues Audio BL8.0 Woofers ( In the rear doors ) 1 - Linear Power 952 ( Dash ) 1 - Linear Power 2202IQ Modified ( Components ) 1 - Linear Power 3002 ( Rear Doors ) 1 - SoundStream XBP-10 Processor 1 - SoundStream BX-20Z 2 - SoundStream DTR1.3400D 4 - RE Audio SX12D4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigballa39213 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Im not sure of how much heat the gelcoat will take but try it on something metal and stick it in the oven. 98 Chevy Blazer 4 Door Stock Everything The New Setup 1 - Pioneer AVH-P5200DVD 1- Pioneer DEH-80PRS 2 - Blues Audio 5.25 Mids ( On the dash ) 2 - Blues Audio BL8.0C Components ( In the front doors ) 2 - Blues Audio BL8.0 Woofers ( In the rear doors ) 1 - Linear Power 952 ( Dash ) 1 - Linear Power 2202IQ Modified ( Components ) 1 - Linear Power 3002 ( Rear Doors ) 1 - SoundStream XBP-10 Processor 1 - SoundStream BX-20Z 2 - SoundStream DTR1.3400D 4 - RE Audio SX12D4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Would I use both like epoxy resin as the base and then gelcoat for the top layers to show color ?? And how many layers would be best I plan on making mdf template and then flush cut the carbon on router table I was thinking 1 or 2 mm thick Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use at least 3 coats.
