    That looks amazing. Good job, lots of patience. Depending on the finish start with lower grits and move up... Be careful resin sands pretty easily so dont go too crazy on the lower grit... Then finish up with polishing compound for cars.

      Wow, that looks nice!

      Gives me hope for "repairing" some cracked plastics in the future. With all those curves you have, makes me glad I have a Pre-Kat. Have you noticed if the color on the plastics shows through the CF?

              Thanks all, I have all the parts covered, just need some more resin on 3 or 4 parts and sanding on the others. I will post some more pictures soon.

                      OK... Some more pics
                      This is taking forever as I have a ton on my plate right now with School, work, moving, ect...
                      I am hoping to get this done by end of next week. But realistic goal is 2 weeks.

                      I have started sanding and uh...
                      I didn't want to burn right through the resin, so I started with 320 grit...not enough, then went to 220, then 150, and finally 80
                      I am starting with 80 to take it down to a level surface, then will work up from there.

                      All pics are still before sanding....
