Carbon Fibre skinning service in the UK?

[Dr. FrankenRex]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a carbon fibre skinning company in the UK?

I want the blade from my R-Magic wing skinning in real CF. I've got a kit to do it myself, but I'm just not going to get around to it.

Any pointers appreciated

Why not have it hydro dipped by Wicked coatings?

[Dr. FrankenRex]

this is my personal opinion and goes against the feelings of other members

Because it looks absolutely rubbish

For reference, I'm not knocking the work of wicked coatings - all the stuff I've seen looks like a solid job.

I just think of effect coatings look trashy - but to each their own

I have a real carbon plate surround and I have to re laqer quite often and prefer the look of the wicked work

There’s a company called T.C.Composites on Facebook.

They make Doors Bonnets boots for Minis and Escorts.
Plus other stuff.
Might be worth sending them a Email.

Just remembered
My mate that races a MK2 Escort has some goodies done in Carbon Fibre.
I’ll try and sort out the CF mans number.
Different company.

Also there’s another guy on facebook that has a Cosworth Dolomite.
He’s made his own Carbon Fibre panels.
I’ll can send him a message to see if he can do anything for you.

By saying skinning with carbon fibre do you mean a wrap? If so then given the shape of you spoiler that could be messy.
As you say though it’s your choice.

I think wrapping would be a neater finish. I do agree hydro dipping is really hit and miss. Wrapping thing is very much you get what you pay for

[exiled--viking]

I've seen "mixed results" to put it kindly, for both dipping and vinyl-wrapping CF finishes.
Some look awful, while the Wicked Coating stuff that Tony had done was very good.

The only place I know that does CF skinning makes it clear that it's NOT a cosmetic treatment and any imperfections are to be expected, as they CF skin body panels, skid plates etc for physical reinforcement. You can also choose a kevlar blend in the skin.

Skinning in CF is the process of coating a part in real carbon fibre, not wrapping it in vinyl
