Carbon Fiber/Dyed Fiberglass 2x2 Twill (Softer)
Description
Carbon Fiber / Dyed Fiberglass Hybrid – 50/47 in (127/119 cm)
This premium hybrid pairs genuine 3K carbon fiber with dyed fiberglass to deliver a show-quality 2×2 twill aesthetic with practical performance. Version 2 features a softer, more drapable hand for easier lay-ups over complex curves while maintaining clean twill definition and a refined, high-end finish.
Available colorways include Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, White, and Lime Green. The dyed fiberglass provides vibrant color, while the carbon fiber adds stiffness and crisp twill contrast—ideal for interior and exterior skins, cosmetic panels, and parts that still benefit from real composite performance.

Processing Notes
- Colors may darken or shift when resin is introduced—always make a small test panel to confirm appearance.
- Use a water-clear, UV-stable epoxy and finish with a UV-resistant clear coat to preserve brightness and gloss.
- Version 2 “Softer” improves drape—avoid aggressive handling that could disturb twill alignment before cure.
- Cut with sharp shears or a rotary cutter; seal edges where necessary to minimize fray before bagging.
