How tough is the Carbon fiber?

[Bladekeeper]

You mean panels ? I'd say having re sprayed two Vw campers that's poor work and a lack of preparing a quality primer matched to the end colour.
I don't profess to know the engineering process and how it translates in wear but I'd imagine this in the motor industry is being used for high end marques anyhow.

Carbon fiber ANYTHING is Bad

Why? because of the years the resin used to fuse the carbon fiber sheets dries out. That make carbon fiber prone to breaking cracking and weakening.

Shouldn't be any different from G10...

Yes - another point I thought about later and failed to make in my defensive rant about CF. The same would apply to wood if not properly cared for. Not sure why CF was singled out as being inadequate.

It's probably because part of the name is literally "fiber" and that calls nature to the construction where as G10 doesn't. It's also known primarily for lightness and aesthetics rather than strength.

A misunderstanding of the material really. Then again the subject was on how well it handles abuse. That's like asking which economy car is best for hitting fire hydrants intentionally. I...don't know. :confused:
