ToffeeZ Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I have tried a couple of traders on here (Chilly red and the Zstore) for a pair Black or satin silver burger badges, but both have said they are out of stock. My car will be coming out of the body shop tommorow and I was hoping to get them fitted before Z010. Would anyone know who else i might try.

Zednick666 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Bit of an update, no good news so far I'm afraid, bit of a bitch to make and some of the epoxy didn't set well, but perseverance I feel will pay off eventually! Here's images of first attempt, albeit not trimmed to a quality finish since it didn't set well, but just am idea of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 did you try and wrap it on the car ? not bad try considering the amount of curves your trying to get the weave into ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zednick666 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks, yeah the general shape is there, I think I need to adjust my epoxy / hardner mix a bit. I've made a mould of the Z badge and i'm laminating the carbon fibre into that, 3 layers. It just happened to slot right over the old nissan badge (which could be a bonus actually, saves removing the badge if you don't want to!) I've also had problems with mould release, despite using a PVA release agent, keeps breaking it... costing me some money to develop, hopefully will get there soon!

yokomo Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 are putting down resin first then letting it almost dry before adding carbon or just laying the carbon straight on to fresh resin ? looks like there might be some bubbles in your mix too. good to see this forum has many talented and experimental members .

sparky370z Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 i have changed all of the badges on the car to the pearl black ones. i have a sunset and it looks sweet! Chilli red and ebay sorted me out! CF ones would look awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zednick666 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Yeah I don't think I left it long enough before adding the first layer in, I did a small square piece last night to test my technique, left it two hours to cure before the first layer and used a heat gun to get rid of the air bubbles - worked a treat! Still had mould release problems, but I'm thinking about a wax as well as the PVA release agent (I'm guessing the PVA solution would work as a barrier between the wax and the resin?) I figure you just gotta give things a shot, might suprise yourself! And it'd be nice to then be able to produce some for some fellow happy zed owners!
