Carbon details of the car are in fashion due to its beauty, strength, lightness and resistance to corrosion. The main minus carbon is, perhaps its value. But often it is not an obstacle for car enthusiasts wishing to acquire or make a carbon hood for cars.

The easiest way to install carbon hood on the car is to buy ready, or order an individual hood in the appropriate car repair shop. The fact is that the manufacture of carbon details The case is quite time-consuming, painstaking and requiring considerable skills. Therefore, it is quite difficult enough to make it in domestic and garage conditions. In addition, sometimes carboxylic parts are made using high temperatures, so it is unrealistic to carry out a similar procedure with undergraduate means.

If you are still confident in our own power, you can try to make a carbon hood for yourself - without the use of high temperatures. To begin with, you need to make a matrix - it is better to practice not small details to further take into account the errors associated with beginners. Purchase a set for the manufacture of the matrix. The bottom of the details thoroughly process the plasticine and cut it over the sides. The surface of the parts is treated with special compositions based on wax and alcohol for easy separation of the matrix from the part. Pour the part and the surface around it with a special gel mixed with a hardener. You give dry. At this time, prepare the reinforcing composition, also mixing it with a hardener, and apply to the solidified surface of the gel. Give on the polymerization of the day. After the matrix is \u200b\u200bready, remove it from the details.

When your matrix is \u200b\u200bready, treat it with the means that facilitate the separation of the finished product, and you can proceed to the adhesive of the carbon hood itself. To do this, cut the fiberglass, gently decompose it in the matrix and with the help of a brush, cover with epoxy resin. Head the resin with a hairdryer and let the fabric soop. This procedure must be repeated 5-6 times. That is, the hood must consist of a minimum of five layers impregnated with epoxy tissue. Leave the hood to complete drying and polymerization - this process may take several weeks.

After you make sure that the product is completely dried, gently separate it from the matrix. All the extra edges, rags, frozen resin need to be removed, the hood itself to polish the sandpaper. Then apply a putty with fiberglass, give to dry and abandon again. Bring the hood to perfection and cover the usual putty and pass the last time. Be sure to use protective clothing and gloves that protect your skin from the glass dust from entering it. Upon completion of the grinding, you can paint the hood, and after it is complete drying to install on the car.

You can use the easiest way to get a carbon hood. It is sticking one layer of fiberglass with further processing. Of course, in this case you will not get the pluses of carbon in the form of lightness, but externally, your hood will not differ from the whole carbon, and you spend much less. The entire detail is sanding by the emery paper of the largest grain. Mix the black resin thoroughly with a hardener, apply a resin to the part and leave for 2-3 hours. When the resin is a sticky to the touch, but at the same time will not leave traces on the fingers, proceed to the salary of the fiberglass. The edges of the fabric are treated with scotch - so that it does not "sprawl". Carefully proceed all the bends of the details - do not press much so that the main layer does not pass through the fabric. Cut surplus and leave up to dry.

The next day, mix the transparent resin with the hardener and apply a brush to the item. If, when working in the resin, air bubbles were formed, heat the resin using a hair dryer, so you remove them. The higher the air temperature, the faster the complete polymerization of the resin will occur. After a day, you can handle the part of the skin to remove all the superfluous and the accumulation error of the resin. To avoid the effect of the flow, the upper layer increases gradually - during the day. Apply a transparent resin to the processed part, after three or four hours, repeat the procedure, you all need 3-4 applications. Giving a day to complete drying, go through the part more several times, gradually moving to the smaller grain, then either polish the item or cover it with varnish.

There are a lot of films imitating carbon coating - their value is much lower than carbon, and the spent forces on the stroke will go much less. But it will be an extremely cosmetic effect, not so beautiful, like a real carbon, and of course, who does not have any advantages of the present material. But auto repair shops offer the application of all sorts of drawings with the film on the car, and it costs it much less than the airbrushing.
When choosing, what carbon hood you need to understand its purpose - if you are engaged in motor racing, the weight of the hood will be determining. If you want to protect the details from corrosion, then you can approach the booty of the hood of the glass fiberglass. If you are only interested in the appearance, then perhaps you will suit only a film under carbon.
N-yes, the article is certainly from a professional, you will not say anything. Says about Carbon, and then about the manufacture of a hood from fiberglass, if anyone is not aware, and then the polymers, but still vary greatly. Sorry, I did not find what I was looking for.
