    • @chiquitademivida
      @chiquitademivida  Рік тому +1

      7:30 is fiberglass resin
      7:41is a hardener for fiberglass resin, when you buy the fiberglass resin is already comes with the hardener

    Needs some side skirts and that diffuser (assuming you also made that) needs to extend out to the whole side of the car so it lowers that rear another inch or two so the whole car is leveled out 😎

    It is necessary to mask the foam in order to apply the resin and the fiber to get a proper adhesion between those materials?

    • @chiquitademivida
      @chiquitademivida  6 місяців тому

      Yes, you have to put some kind of tape, otherwise the resin is gonna eat the foam, i recommend to use foil tape

    Enjoyed the video. I've been watching videos on making lip's, spoilers etc. Problem is I don't know how to start and what exactly Is I would need. Would you mind helping me out with a list of things that would help getting started?
    And where I could probably get fiberglass cloth?

    • @chiquitademivida
      @chiquitademivida  Рік тому +1

      Yeah sure, you can buy fiberglass on amazon or ebay, so this is what you need, ( fiberglass chopped strand mat cloth, fiberglass resin,
      Bondo body filler, chip paint brush, sandpapers, gloves and 3m paint respirator ) now if you wanna make a front bumper lip side skirts or anything, just watch a lot of different videos to get an idea of how you can start your project, that's my advice
