What mold method will you use, what brand of resin, what type of glass, are they heat cured, are they gel coated, and other ?s. I know that making FG pieces can be expensive and for 250 I want to make sure it is not for a product that is going to break at every bump.
well there are a few different mold methods i might use. most likley it will be a fiberglass mold just like almost every bodykit manufacture uses. But if there is enough intrest i might go with a Urathane mold. its pricy but its way easier to use in the long run. But the fiberglass molds will be made with a Isophthalic resin.
and i will use a 1.5 oz chop mesh fiberglass, with a Polyester Hydrex or general pourpose Boat resin for the sideskirts, either is sutable. Yes they will be Gelcoated. the resin is designed to cure at room temprature. so no need for excess heat.
im all about doing things rite. the last thing i want to do is give myself a bad name on the forum. and i dont want to screw anyone. i know too many on here personally. Trust me 4 layers of this stuff, and they definatly arnt going to break. the reason most of the front bumpers break is due to the manufacture spraying the resin into the molds, rather than hand laying them. by spraying the glass and resin in the mold it makes it really brittle. I just want to help people get a really clean looking skirt for a decent price, I just dont see why some people charge so frekin much for things.
Trust me alot is going into this, and just for supplys its a lot of money. so 250 is well worth it.
you all have seen my Rad post. im picky as hell, and im not about to send someone something that i wouldent use.
