anyone know where i can find some colored carbon fiber hoods?

 

APC possibly? they've used it in hoods that i've seen....might want to contact them and see if they'd name a supplier....doubtful, but worth a shot

 

i have seen a blue/carbon, fiber images they make great stuff, looked good to, they still might do that, check em out

 

Why is this post here? This forum is for fabrication discussion.

 

The "colored" part is actually kevlar.

or if you wanted silver it is fiberglass that has been aluminized

 

We use polyester. It's easier to work with then kevlar.

Haven't seen that. I usually get my cloth (in very limited amounts mind you) from fiberglast.com.

Then what is it? I have tried to dye carbon and everyone I know that has tried to dye carbon, it does not work, carbon fiber from my testing and many others does not take dye. That is why they use kevlar in it, because it does take the dye. Or they will use fiberglass and dye that

If its SOLID blue than it's probably colored glass. But if its black and colored then it's most likely carbon/kevlar or carbon/polyester.

 

I have a couple solid colors such as silver, blue, red, and also gold and it is fiberglass. All of it aluminized. I have not seen fiebrglass and carbon mixed to make colors.
