| Who does real carbon fibre?
I have a customer that has some panels that need to be covered in real 'wet' carbon fibre. Does anybody know who does that? Vinyl CF will not be sufficient!

The Items are pretty large.
Its one thing to buy CF and do it yourself but because there are so many angles and curves I would rather somebody with a lot of experience do it so I don't mess it up.
Thanks for the recommendation though!

Anybody got an idea about the pricing?

I don't know if they still do it,it was a few years ago when I saw it being done,but I know it won't be cheap.

I used to do plenty of carbon work for custom instals. It's time consuming and can get real expensive but maybe I can help you guys

I could try to tackle it but my 55-60 hours a week at work would turn into 70-80 hours. Not really into that! Thanks for the suggestion!

I can do a carbon overlay. That would be the cheapest. I would need to see the pieces in hand tho to get a better grasp on the contours. I could also do Kevlar.
If an overlay isn't what you're after and you want a mold made then I can make pure carbon pieces but that would be real pricey.
