Carbon Fibre skinning on door handle part W.I.P

4th March 2014

Decided to embark on another project from my own car.  Gonna use this part as one of my CF product tutorial too.  Done the basic lamination of CF for now and waiting for it to cure,  the point of time I hated the most of.  

Patience is all I need now I guess.

Custom Honda Accord CL7 Rear Diffuser (Project Complete)

It's been a while since I had my ride. Always wanted to have a rear diffuser for it (dunno why Honda never thought of it thou) and can't find it anywhere else.

So decided to make my own since I can't find it. Well, here is how it looks like after a couple weeks of working with it, as I am a slow coach. 

*Still require some sanding work to be done on the Gelcoat to level the high spots 

Will update soon on the DIY pictures and show how I did it to this shape that I wanted. Great diy project for anybody as it's not actually rocket science behind all this custom bodykit. 

Please do like me on my Facebook page www.Facebook.com/DirtyJobsSG

Last but not least, my new secret product launching soon for all DIY goers. Stay tuned for update! 

Decided that it's actually easier to take out the diffuser and work on it rather on the car. So took it out and applied a second layer of gelcoat to protect the fiberglass. Have to do a good sanding after it dries. Will be updating the progress soon.

*remove and work on is actually easier sometimes. 

*a second layer of gelcoat applied.

Had done quite a bit of touchup work and I think the diffuser is ready for spray paint job once it dries. 

*clearly marked out where I need to putty 

*thats how much I need to touch up after leveling the high spots! 😱

*sanding and smoothing all done. Waiting it to dry the I shall paint the diffuser. 

That's the progress till now. Will be updating soon. Cheers!

Well, today is the day. Prepping the diffuser for spray pain. Was thinking should I go matte black or gloss. Hmmm.... But a clever idea struck me. 

Why not just go matte black first. If I don't like it then just clear coat it and all will be done. Good of both worlds... Let's try. ;)

*whatever project you on. Gloves are super important. Here I am cleaning my diffuser with acetone. Give a good wipe down and ready for Dom's spray paint job! 

*done! Matte black looks kinda stealthy but do not match my car's setup right now. Hmmm... 

*Decided to go for glossy paint instead. So here goes the clear coat. Can't wait for the diffuser to be ready for my ride!
