Carbon Fibre Skinning explained

Carbon fibre skinning is the process of overlaying existing components with a single layer of real carbon fibre in order to give them a genuine carbon fibre look. When done correctly apart from the weight it should be impossible to tell the difference with one made from 100% carbon fibre .

The process can be used on mostly any components and materials you wish to use it on ie car trim consoles, binnacles, dash parts, exterior parts wing mirrors, skirts, diffusers, bonnets/hoods you can also use it on furniture, architectural features, household objects and exhibition displays.

Skinning is mostly done for cosmetic purposes, However carbon fibre skin will also add a tough, durable finish to the original component. It will also increase the strength and stiffness of the original part.

Please Note: Some plastics (including polypropylene, polyethylene, HDPE and others) can be very difficult to bond to. Parts made using these or similar plastics are unsuitable for skinning unless prepared with a suitable plastic primer
