I thought about this one for a while before deciding to do an overlay. The part sitting on top is from my mold and the main part being the overlay. The fixing points etc just didn`t warrant making the mold and i had a spare centre console lying around.
For those who are interested. I roughed up the part with 80 grit then crosshatch scored it with a blade, coated part with surfboard resin (without wax)let it tac up, draped 4 x 4 carbon over whole part, folded underneath and held here with 77 tac. (ill put a coat of resin here last)Applied 3 coats of surfboard resin and 1 of Duratec to cure the surfboard resin. Sand with 80 grit and a block (be very careful here)just taking off some of the high points. 3 more coats resin and 1 of Duratec, sanded once again 80 grit and block. Now it
s flat so a quick go over with 240 W or D wet, clean it up and degrease. Now sprayed 3 coats Bondaseal Clear (polyurethane) rubbed down with 400 W or D, 3 more coats Bondaseal and 6 hours later rubbed down with 1200 W or D then 1500. Buffed up with G3 then T cut. Coat of polish done. All told probably about 4 or 5 hours actual work over 3 days.
