Material Selection Guide
Composite systems are specified by weight target, operating environment and budget. The table below summarizes the options we most often mold for this product line.
| Material Option | Recommended For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| CFRP (2x2 twill / unidirectional) | Weight-critical body panels and motorsport | 40–60% weight reduction vs steel equivalent |
| GFRP | Cost-optimized panels and classic car restoration | Lower cost with the same corrosion-free service life |
| Hybrid (carbon + glass) | Panels balancing stiffness and budget | Performance and cost tuned per part |
Application guidance only — the final material, resin system and layup are confirmed against your drawings, load case and operating environment during engineering review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for automotive FRP shells?
Prototype orders from 1 piece. Standard MOQ: 10 pieces for painted shells, 5 pieces for gel-coat finish. Custom colors and textures available for all quantities.
Are your automotive shells suitable for outdoor or racing applications?
Yes. Our FRP shells withstand UV exposure, extreme temperatures (-40°C to +80°C), and high-speed airflow. Used in racing aerodynamic kits, agricultural vehicle covers, and specialty vehicle shells.
Can you match OEM automotive paint colors?
Yes. We match any RAL, Pantone, or automotive OEM color code. Our paint shop uses automotive-grade 2K coatings with UV-stable clear coat for long-lasting finish.
What is the typical lead time for automotive shell orders?
Prototype: 7-15 days. Standard production: 20-30 days. For large orders (100+ units), lead time is 30-45 days. Rush prototyping available.
Do you provide installation hardware and mounting brackets?
Yes. Custom mounting brackets, rubber gaskets, ventilation grilles, and fastener kits are available. We also offer full assembly services for certain product lines.
