Description
Carbon Fiber Fabric – 2x2 V-Twill • 3K • 60″/152.4 cm Width • 6 oz (≈203 gsm)
Give your parts a striking chevron look with this premium 2×2 V-Twill carbon cloth. V-Twill is a mirrored variation of standard 2×2 twill: the weave direction reverses at the center to form a distinct “V” pattern that reads cleanly under clear coat while preserving the familiar drape and handling of twill. Built from 3K carbon fiber tows, this fabric balances excellent cosmetics with versatile layup performance for motorsport, marine, UAV, and consumer products.
Key Features
- Iconic V-twill aesthetic: mirrored chevrons for show-quality cosmetic panels and visible skins.
- Lightweight 6 oz (≈203 gsm): ideal for cosmetic plies, light shells, and sandwich skins.
- 3K tows • 60″ wide: a popular tow size with generous width for large panels and fewer seams.
- Great workability: twill weave offers good drape for complex shapes in hand layup, vacuum bagging, or infusion.
- Smooth finish: reduced print-through vs. plain weave when paired with a clear, UV-stable epoxy system.
Typical Applications
- Motorsport & powersport panels, interior trim, aerodynamic fairings
- UAV/drone frames, marine components, boards & foils
- Consumer products, cases, instrument & electronics covers
- Decorative skins and wrap-overlays where a crisp chevron pattern is desired

- Perform a light post-cure per your epoxy manufacturer for improved gloss and stability.
