It is indeed messy process. My craftsmanship would be cleaner, too. That resin is sticky. But I'm working on a cardboard and stuff with gloves.

BTW it is not dark brown. Looks like it I know

Hi all... I am going to buy brake pads and can't decide. Heard lots about ebc yellow stuff both positive and negative so I probably not good news to buy them. OEM brake pads are noisy and very dusty. Please enlighten me with your experiences... Thanks in advance

Here is the hard mould... This is the only thing I've found in Halfords. Fastglas lol And yes, first time moulding casting
-
However, if I'll be unsuccessful then I'll ask your precious help

I think it is uv stabilised resin. I'm not worried about bubbles because I'm going to use 2 moulds. This one is for hard surface. Then I'm going to use another layer for smooth surface which is silicone rubber mould. But pitman, thank you for your help. Honestly man, I'm in Southampton. I really needed those vacuum chamber today.

I guess it would be much easier on bigger spoilers as there are some ready kits just to attach on bigger spoilers. This TRD spoiler is small in every angle.

@rob: I am trying to make it look awesome as I want to make something proper. Because of that I am being careful and taking my time. @Keith: yes I can fit a proximity sensor but that would be dangerous in traffic. but i like the idea a lot... apart from that, when I finish the project I am going to keep the moulds so I can make more whoever wants...

not bad eh?

I am trying to make this. vacuum forming or 3d printer is not going to work. got the spoiler. have to cut a piece and that piece is the exact shape of the brake lights. so it has to be clear but to match, i will put a black film or transparent black paint on it.

Something is definitely wrong with the forum today... Extremely slow.
-
I bought a part for the car. Planning to cut a peace and this peace is going to be exact positive for the clear acrylic/plastic (excuse my terminology) so i can put a light in it. I just don't know how can I make it, yet...

and how much are you planning to spend on this? I am asking more like to see how much roughly I have to spare for more...
