Carbon Coating
The Carbon coating complete kit includes all components needed to refine parts with a high-quality visible carbon surface. Ideal for decorative applications, lightweight structural elements, or functional surfaces in model making, automotive projects, or furniture design. The set combines carbon fabric, laminating resin, tools, and consumables – perfectly matched for bubble-free processing and a visually impressive result.
Carbon coating – Premium finish & functional strength
What makes the carbon coating complete kit stand out?
The HP-Textiles carbon coating kit provides all necessary materials to create a structural or decorative carbon fiber surface. Whether for visual enhancement of existing parts or functional lamination – this kit enables the professional application of carbon fabric with transparent epoxy resin. The set includes fine twill weave carbon, low-viscosity laminating resin, release agents, processing tools, and a detailed instruction manual, making it ideal for visible surface applications. It ensures uniform wet-out, effective air release, and UV stability when combined with topcoat systems. Suitable for plastics, wood, metal, or GFRP/CFRP surfaces – in tuning, model building, or interior applications.
What are the benefits of carbon coating with epoxy resin?
Using real carbon fiber results in a surface that is both highly durable and lightweight, offering a distinct technical look. Compared to foils or printed décor, carbon coating with laminating resin provides a tangible and visible texture that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also mechanically resilient. The applied epoxy resin system features high transparency and strong adhesion, enabling a bubble-free, smooth finish. Post-processing options like sanding, sealing, or clear coating deliver a glossy final appearance. Combined with carbon fabric, it creates a permanently bonded, scratch- and abrasion-resistant composite – with a genuine high-tech aesthetic.
How is the kit processed and what should be considered?
The kit is suitable for both skilled beginners and composite professionals. The process involves several steps: surface preparation, application of release agent, cutting the carbon fabric, mixing the resin system, and layered lamination. A dust-free workspace and accurate mixing of the 2K components as per instructions are crucial. The low-viscosity resin allows efficient fiber wet-out without excess flow. For best results, apply a UV-stable clear coat or top layer system after curing. When used in combination with an epoxy primer, adhesion to plastic or metal substrates is further improved. The result is a durable, high-end carbon surface – ideal for custom parts, prototypes, or small series production.
