Default Starting carbon fiber fabrication, questions

How many layers of carbon fiber do you think is necessary for doing vanity things (non-functional) carbon fiber parts for the interior? Like the power window switch panel and things like that.

How many CF layers are good for strength vs. weight on exterior car parts like the hood and such.

I want to start with interior without vaccum resin infusion. Just layering by hand. But I would eventually like to make some molds of my exterior parts and use resin infusion to make those. How many layers to use is really the question.
