Carbon fibre vinyl

[kc-saxo]

Anyone know where to get moderatly priced with decent quality carbon fibre vinyl. dont want to fork out for 3m Di Noc when its only a few small things, but i dont want crap looking stuff.

anyone got a link to what theyve used and pics of what it looks like ?

As said above, the 3M stuff is just about the only decent 'fake' carbon fibre around, well worth investing in a bigger sheet and having some spare to do little interior details etc.

if you can do a good job on the centre console il send you a fiver, the guy who wrapped my steering cowel wasnt happy with it and refunded me, the 3m di-noc stuff isnt all that good going round corners...

the 3m di-noc stuff isnt all that good going round corners...

it is when you heat it up using a heat gun

iv heard alot about this, how do u actually do it? is it easy to do?

[Furio-Gazza]

its not easy at all, im a graphic designer and i use this all the time, its a 2man job and why do you think companys charge £100 to £150 to do bonnets???? ;)

[Plekumat]

you can do it by yourself but not easy ..

You defo need some experienced person to lead you ;)
and a heatgun for the corners, i use 3m primer for some corners..

Im lovin it :)

[Furio-Gazza]

o yh it can defo be done but like i said its a 2man job and a heat gun is needed, but if you stretch it to much you get little white bits showing :D

[mirrorblanks]

not a 2 man job at all, i do quite abit in work and only once needed help

[Furio-Gazza]

must be talented ;) :)

[mirrorblanks]

its easy to do alone

[Furio-Gazza]

i didnt say it cant be done, just said its alot easier with 2 people

[mark1311]

also it is dull, but you could always spray it with clear coat to give it a gloss finish

[Plekumat]

ı suppose, i can do the bonnet and roof by myself but help would be great :)

Starting little parts to sort it out is the key ;)
