just like that! It seems to be called Gialla ... I don't know how much it costs! They didn't want to do it in Irkutsk! I don't like crap from the model ... Or just the sides of the lining

Thank you :) I did it myself. In the garage :) but what kind of skirt? How is the stock?

Well done! Can't tell you where you did it. I would make myself a lining or skirt on the rear bumper!

yes, not a bad slip. if on the sides, then it is not difficult. if everything is done, then it is also not difficult. just more time. in general it can be done.

thanks. We will try. I just have experience working with resin, but not with such large details, but mainly with podiums, sub bodies, in general, in
car audio :) so I decided to mess up and make myself a hood :)

2 layers + reinforcement on the outside and sticks.
about 4 thousand, taking into account the matrix (did not save at all.) could be done in 3-3.5
drying takes place at room temperature for a day (maybe even less.). no, it did not work.

Can I ask around a little)))
in how many stages did you apply the resin for the matrix?
how much resin and fiber did it take?
when drying did not lead?

it's very difficult :) I also thought that everything would be okay! There are a lot of little things. I did it under the guidance of a person who knows. The hood was my first experience. Now the wings are being prepared for Pakraska, I already made them myself.

Thanks! In the summer you need to rest, and in the winter you need to work on the car :) and in the summer you still need to drive it. But if the car is flying in the garage, it does not please.

it turned out great and the transformation of the car is noticeable! I think in the summer to repeat your feat ... and you no longer need an onboard but a combat log :)

thanks :) I want to try to make such a carbonaceous one ...

excellent work, credit

matte paint :)

and than painted, the color is such a rubber ... class))

at the expense of the simple, I would not say. but try that the plane is even. and at the sky under the grill of the rajiator there is still a bend. the rigidity should not be made from radial ribs. you remove the matrix from them and everything. everything that does not fall into the heat outlet, you stick everything on the sealant.

That is why Skye does not have such a simple and small hood as the rear sight? :))

I also started this kind of work on my hood. I have a question one, from which to make the reinforcement, from two or more, crosswise, metal strips?

Where can you buy them in Krasnoyarsk?)

I did this: I cut a strip along the contour of the entire hood. I impregnated it with resin and connected 2 parts. I screwed it in and out with self-tapping screws (so that the resin would stick well). Then, when it was dry, I glued the stiffeners to a heat-resistant sealant.

In, I did just that, I removed the matrix from my own ribs, now I'm thinking how to stick it to the top hood lid: -

There is such an option: attach these two parts to each other, smear the edges with resin, and inside the back of the hood there is a hole (I made the lower part of the hood only around the perimeter), cover it with fiberglass strips and fill it with resin, do you think it will work out okay?

Yes, right ... And yesterday I stuck both sides on a strip of fiberglass impregnated with resin, today I came to the garage, the hood is oblique, at one wing it is sunk into the inside, a gap of 1 cm at the other wing sticks out so that a 1 cm gap is formed, I shocked ...

it can also be adjusted with rubber bands. How are the hood hinges attached to the kapot?

Well, I also did. I glued them to the rib of the stiffener. And then the stiffeners to the hood cover. At the expense of leveled. I didn't understand… what exactly? It turns out even after removing the product from the matrix.

Well, I took metal strips (2), drilled holes in them, inserted the bolts there, welded the hat on the other side, put it in the lower part of the hood and rolled it up with fiberglass strips. Glued two halves of the hood and that's it. And today in the garage I tore off this lower half, all the jambs because of it, I will do without it.

Are there any other options?

And how did you level the hood surface?

I just did not do it smartly :) I immediately put layers of fiber on my own hood and removed it from the resulting shape, the inner side is perfectly flat. it adjoins the hood, but the top one can hardly be called even ...

Maybe I'm doing it wrong? maybe the fact that I now only have a matrix? And you need to put more layers inside the matrix? And only then will a normal product be obtained?

Then I immediately have a question, what to use as a separator? : -

Some people coat the matrix with mastic. it dries like wax. I saw the hood, in the manufacture of which the owner generally overlaid everything with a falga.

of course this is a matrix matrix :)) aha :) a separator? hmm. I smeared the surface with special wax, and gelcoat, as a leveling layer. You can see in the photo.

special wax.buy.on the base where the whole thing is sold.the name is, but I don’t remember.to remove the product from the matrix: apply wax to the matrix.apply the gelcoat.and then wait until it starts to weld and then put the fiber.without it you can, but the quality will be worse. and more work for the preparer. why complicate life for yourself and others :)

And yet, the separation process is not fully understood, what kind of wax, does it have a name, and where can you buy it? First, wax the matrix and then gelcoat? Can you do without a gelcoat?

Everything is clear, but after the gelcoat has been applied it needs to be leveled?) And when the product is detached from the matrix, will its surface be even? Could it be crooked because the gelcoat is not evenly distributed?

If the matrix is ​​good, then the product will be good. The gelcoat should be applied in an approximately even stand, with a brush. and that is the side that will be the outer one, it will be perfectly flat from the matrix. but what comes in contact with the fiber, it doesn’t care whether it will be there or not. even the Toyota inscriptions remain :)

you are welcome:)

Now everything became clear, thanks =) I went to start the conveyor: D

I am not in contact :) please contact me, no problem.

If suddenly questions arise, can I contact you?

To avoid flooding in this thread, the conversation can be moved to vkontakte.ru/id6906315

Wax works wonders, everything can be removed very easily and without any consequences :)

only plastic.

Did you make the wings entirely of plastic? Did you insert any metal strips in the Places of attachments?

in what sense? did not quite understand you.

But first they worked with the tin, right?

I removed the matrix from my own wings. Then I saw the product. And then I sawed the product, I made what holes I needed and glued it.

Well, found some left wings, cut them, welded gills => matrix => the wings themselves?

you then, as usual, just forget to call when you start doing something)))

yes, no problem :) what can I tell you :)

Andryukha, teach me how to do the details :) if you cheat this year, I would attend. in order to gain experience, and mb wings myself, and all that I can do :)

I'll call :))

watch me :)))

thanks:)

It was awesome! Come to visit me!
