Generally, a ready-made bonnet/hood on the market will be almost all fibreglass, probably using polyester resin and possibly even using chopped strand mat (like we would use to make a mould!). They're mass produced, low spec and heavy. This is how to make a real carbon fibre part, untra-strong, light and dimensionally accurate. The original part weighed 18kgs, so-called 'carbon fibre' ones on sale weigh around 10kgs. The one we made here? - 3.25kg. Enough said :)

In other words, you have your engine protected from the wind and environment with less weight, but safety is reduced in the case of a collision.

You would need to ensure that at least a couple of hours elapsed between applying the gelcoat and undertaking the resin infusion (which is quite likely on a reasonably large project like this anyway) but asside from that it would be fine to stick the carbon to the gel whilst slightly tacky.

We have even had customers make an entire car engine clamshell to a good standard on the first go!! That is why we like resin infusion, with a small amount of skill and a lot of planning and following the steps exactly and you can get repeatable great results regularly. Where as techniques such as wetlay require a fair bit of practice to get right.

Have a look at our beginners guide to pre-preg in the learning area of our site, which should tell you everything you need to know about pre-preg usage and how as a beginner you can make stunning parts using it. Pre-preg is marginally a higher performer and slightly lighter than a similar bonnet made by resin infusion. However it would cost at least double, if not triple the cost in raw materials for only a small benefit.

@Silverjda Just to be clear, both infusion epoxy and the epoxy used in pre-press are both exothermic reactions when they cure. They're never endothermic, they just have a much higher cure temperature but when they cure, they give off heat, not consume it. If you post cure our epoxy infusion resin at elevated temperature you will achieve mechanical properties (hardness) the same as many pre-pregs.

Generally, matt finish parts come off matt finish moulds but if you want to make a part that's come out of a glossy mould matt then you would do the infusion with no gelcoat (gelcoat is not great for giving a matt finish to) and then 'scotch pad' the finished panel which would give it a matt finish. This wouldn't leave a protective resin layer on the surtface though so it would be more for race use than everyday use if you did this. Another option is a matt or satin finish clear coat/lacquer.

It depends. Good cosmetic results can be achieved with traditional wetlay processes as well as vacuum bagging. Some of the advantages of resin infusion include, good cosmetic finish, controllable fibre/resin ratio, stronger and lighter parts due to ratio and vacuum consolidation of the fibres etc. But Wet lay parts can still be perfectly adequate for some applications.

If you made the part using resin infusion (like we do here) then you could choose to 'post-cure' the part in an oven. Depending on the resin you're using this might improve it's mechanical performance and its temeprature tollerance. Other ways to make carbon fibre parts (specifically 'pre-preg') mean that the resin will only start to cure once it's exposed to elevated temperature (usually around 100'C+). We use and sell pre-pregs too, see our website if you're interested/want to know more.

There are other ways to make carbon fibre parts that can be less complicated, for example you can use a conventional wet lay process or you could just skin your existing parts to give them a carbon fibre finish. If it's for a classic car and you're painting the finished panels then the pin-hole free finish isn't quite so important and therefore it's much more realistic to just use a wet-lay process (so no vacuum bagging or infusion, just resin and fibre into the mould).

It’s mainly to provide some UV protection to the epoxy and also provide some general ‘wear and tear’ protection to the panel too. The alternative is to use a clear coat.

Pre-pregs need an autoclave to cure, and the molds are much more expensive to handle the heat. The pressure and heat can make them to sag. The finish wont be better with prepregs, the mold makes the finish. The prepreg method is mostly made for the aircraft industry probably becoz it´s faster and the carbonfiber contain a more exact amount of resin. It saves money and the risk of bubbles and airpockets will be less.
