Carbon Fiber Repair & Fabrication
Very few body shops in Palm Beach County repair carbon fiber, and fewer still make it. We do both: cracked panels repaired so the weave lines up again, and one-off parts laid up in our own molds. Automotive only.

What is included
What we do with carbon
Carbon fiber is not metal and it is not plastic. Repaired the way a body shop repairs a bumper, it fails again in the same place.
Cracked and damaged panel repair
The damaged area is cut back, rebuilt with new material and refinished so the weave pattern lines up across the repair.
Structural repair of composite parts
Rebuilding the layers properly, in the right orientation, rather than filling a crack from the outside and clear-coating over it.
Custom part fabrication
Hoods, diffusers, wings, splitters, vents, ducts and mirror housings, made here from our own molds.
Mold making
One-off parts start with a mold taken from the car, which is why a part we make actually fits the car it was made for.
Exposed weave finishing
Clear coat built up and flattened so the weave stays crisp and the surface stays straight, with no cloudiness or distortion.
Carbon blended with paint
Panels that are part exposed weave and part body color, finished so the transition is deliberate instead of accidental.
How it works
How a carbon job runs
-
Assess the part
We work out whether the damage is cosmetic or structural. Those are different repairs, and only one of them is safe to do cosmetically.
-
Prepare or mold
For a repair, the damaged area is cut back to sound material. For a new part, we take a mold off the car.
-
Layup and cure
Fabric laid in the correct orientation and cured. Weave direction is chosen for strength and for how the finished part will look.
-
Trim and fit
The part is trimmed and test-fitted on the car before any finishing work starts.
-
Clear coat and finish
Built up, flattened and polished in the booth until the reflection runs straight across the weave.

Frequently asked
Carbon fiber questions
Can carbon fiber actually be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?
It can be repaired, and often should be — carbon parts are expensive and many are no longer available. The honest caveat is that it has to be repaired as a composite, not as bodywork. That means cutting the damage back to sound material, rebuilding the layers in the correct orientation, and then refinishing. Filling a crack from the outside and clear-coating over it looks fine for a season and then cracks again in exactly the same place.
Is a repaired carbon part as strong as the original?
A cosmetic panel repaired properly goes back to doing its job with no issue. For a part that is carrying load or is part of an aerodynamic structure, the answer depends entirely on how the layers were rebuilt, which is why we assess whether the damage is cosmetic or structural before quoting. If we do not think a part should be repaired, we say so rather than take the job.
Can you make a custom part that does not exist?
Yes, that is a large part of what we do. It starts with a mold taken off your actual car, which is the difference between a part that fits and a part you spend a weekend trying to make fit. Hoods, diffusers, wings, splitters, vents, ducts and mirror housings have all come off this bench. Bring the car and the idea and we will tell you what is realistic.
Do you work on anything other than cars?
No. We are automotive only — no bicycles, no marine parts, no sporting goods. Composite work is specialised enough that staying in one lane is how the quality stays where it is. If you have a carbon part off a car, from a modern supercar panel to a one-off piece for a custom build, that is our work.
