Carbon fiber rods are used in a number of ways in model building, both for static kit builders looking for additional support for their structures and by RC modelers who use them to reinforce airplane wings and strengthen car frames. Carbon fiber rods are are made by tightly combining carbon fibers with epoxy resin. As a result, they are incredibly strong and lightweight, but they can be a little difficult to bond if you do not know what you are doing. Fortunately, the process is fairly simple.
Carbon fiber is a light weight and durable material. The color dark gray with lighter gray lines crossing though it, which make a very small checked pattern. Most carbon fiber hoods are not painted with colors and are only protected by a clear coat of paint. If the clear coat becomes cracked, the repair is simple and not as difficult as repairing a cracked clear coat on painted hoods. With few materials and about two hours of time, you can fix a cracked clear coat on a carbon fiber hood.
