If you take this to a show one day and find someone running around it with a digital SLR photographing every inch...that'd be me.

Beautiful work and amazing attention to detail. I love every update!

How have I not seen this topic before!? This is NUTS! I presume you are in the composite trade? If not then how are you getting such an amazing finish on all your carbon parts!? Very impressive!

I think the guy who runs carbon wheezel is his friend, they are both handy with the carbon stuff? I may be off the mark here .

Beyond that, a whole lot of time, perseverence and 2k clear coat?

Hi, yeah I like to dabble in the carbon making and yes I learned all my techniques with the weezel team back before they started up.
They are very good friends of mine and very talented at what they do. I'm always impressed when I pop round to catch up with what they've been up to.

Carbon takes allot of effort and hours of time and patience, to get it looking so good, something most people wouldn't entertain doing.
And it helps to be a little bit of a perfectionist. Surprisingly there isnt a great amount of 2k clear on them, just enough for protection really.
Thanks for your input, there will be some more updates a soon as I can get some work done on the car.
