HONDA 400

Here is how I did the mirror ,one thing that you can do diffrent is to let the resin kick to the point that it wount move or run on the part then apply a freshly mixed coat. Doing that you can apply enough resin to bury the weave in 1 day as opposed to 3. If you sand through the resin into the weave its just like a candy paintjob, RUINED!

Started with a mirror shell off an 88 chev pu.Sanded the shell with 400 to clean up the surface.
Cut a piece of cf cloth extra large to be sure it would extend past all ehe edges.

"Sprayed a coat of 3m adheisive on the shell and let it tack up .Heres where I learned my first lesson. started to lay the cloth down and you guessed it ,it bunched up and bridged all over the place. After ripping the cloth off I decided to spray the glue wet so I would have at least a short window to slide the weave. That worked fine with the exception of the pattern being a little crooked.

Once the cloth was stuck down I let the glue dry for a few hrs and went on to resin. I used epoxy and worked the resin in with a brush.

After about 24 hrs I lightly sanded the resin wit 120 on a da then applied another coat of resin. 24 hrs sanded again with 120 then applied another coat.

I sanded it totally flat the third time ,cleaned it then shot 3 coats of urethane clear. Sanded next day with 500 then 3 more coats of clear. Sanded and buffed 2 days later. "
NOTE shoot a light coat of black paint on the part you intend to overlay incase the weave spreads a little. Also great info on this on ,fiberglast.com

(Shakey) re the buckets in the back my guess is no one will ever sit in them purley for looks and also to take up some room back there so I dont have to put 20 or 30 subs in the back. LOL When I get em I'll post a pic with them in .
I think I'm goin with 4 ARIZEN buckets .
