so funny enough blue kevlar/blue carbon fiber has made me find that fake vinyl "5d" carbon wrap may be the better option for my final color choices and my general ineptitude (and time) for bodywork, paint and composite work
That stuff is horrible.If you want to go that route, try to check some out local first, or buy the smallest amount you can find to test.
They call it vinyl, but it was like TV dinner film with tiny strands of wire inside, if that makes sense. Does not conform at all and bunches up easily if you have to tighten a fastener down against it. Even with stacked felt/nylon washers.
I tried it on the dash of my drag car since the aluminum panel was blinding in the sun/ shift light. That's a very low traffic use and it was fragile as hell.
There may other brands that work ( just picked mine up at Advance, can't remember the name), but definitely do some homework before you dive in and order a bunch.
Going around a curve like a pipe is easy. Going around a compound curves like a tank is a different story. I hope it works out for you. I wouldn't have badmouthed it so bad If I'd known you already had bought it.
I've used a couple other brands. Chromalite is one. I think it has more working time to spread vs Bondo. I can't remember what else I've used through the years. I think Bondo clogs the least, but I'm not really adept at any of it.
like a hard shitty stubborn butter. i guess. but all in all for like 3 large dents and 6-7 small tiny dents i spent maybe 2 hours total sanding by hand...then finished the rest in 10 minutes with the orbital
