it is a custom tail. i made it from sheet steel and then made a copy ing carbon fiber. it looks like this now:

yes... it really doesnt like to stick to glossy plastic. so it is better to lay up several layers and use it as a mold. or you can rough up the surface to get it to stick.

Nice work. But cant understand why you would wrap a tank in beautiful looking carbon fibre and then paint over it? You should invest in some vacuum bagging equipment. That way you could make moulds of the plastic parts with chop strand then lay up the carbon into the moulds and vacuum them. Well, you know the potential seeing as you have worked with composites before. Once again, nice job dude.
