do you have any fancy abrasion machines at work?

any way to pull molds from the originals and make some aerospace-level replacements?

My employer is far too bureaucratic to give me access to any of our equipment for personal use. Sadly, because I would then have the ability to essentially build my own carbon fiber structural components.

Then use a high quality automotive finish clear coat to spray over the top. Not too thick as you want it to move with the part. Wet sand and polish out for a perfect finish.

Or you can send it out to a re-finisher who does automotive interior wood etc. that can handle the project with ease. Just look on vintage jag forums for a re-finisher, they have lot's of wood in those interiors. Has to be someone out there who can give you a quote for comparison to a DIY.

Thanks guys, a wet sand and polish is probably what I'll try. I did some wood trim refinishing on my old C36 and it royally sucked, the finish is thick and difficult to remove and I ultimately wasn't happy with my finished product. If it comes to that, I'll be looking into non-DIY options.
