Hey guy,
Carbon covering isn't overly tricky for nice flat parts (like a hood) or parts that have simple bends. The more complex the shape, such as a front bar, the harder it is to get the cloth to lay flat and not wrinkle.
Also, if you don't have a vacuum bag set up, you're going to need to accept a certain amount of wave in the final product. It's pretty much impossible to get it completely flat without vacuum bagging (google's your friend - lots of info on that topic available).
So, you'll need the carbon cloth, high quality epoxy (something like a 1:1 or 2:1 type mix). Practice on smaller parts first as carbon has to be laid as one solid piece of cloth so better to learn on some less expensive parts before you lay out $100 worth of cloth on one part.
I've also referenced Fibreglass Forums - tons of good info there, but need to register so you can read the forums.
