    They look way better than my resin casting experiments, I will say that. 

    I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately, as I began to tinker with them I discovered that they were about 1/10th of an inch to wide.  I have reworked them and I have poured the first half of the mold.  I hope the this attempt turns out as well as the previous one.

    The mold was cured today and I was finally able to cast my fenders.  There are very few bubbles and they have all been on the underside.  They will require a little sanding and possibly a little filler.  I think they turned out pretty damn good!

    As I mentioned in my previous post I decided to build a new fender to resin cast.  I thought it would be easier to build one side (center), resin cast it to make the other side and then add the center.  This was my first attempt at resin casting but after several failed attempts (left) at both making the mold and casting the part, I think I finally have results that I can work with (right).  I just had a couple of small air bubbles that can be easily filled.

    I've pondered making a few fenders like that. Did you roll a flat piece of plastic for the top, or use something that was already rounded, like a cut-down pill bottle?

    I thought I had replied to this but looks like I didn't.  On the one above I just used flat sheet styrene and beveled the corner.  However, I wanted to round the corners more and thus decided to build a new one to resin cast.
