Has anyone tried their hand at carbon wrapping?

They look good Craig not a fan of pretending carbon but a good job done never the less, but what you want to do is some real carbon fibre wrapping then that would be something;)

Cheers people.

Nicky I'm usually the same if I'm honest fake carbon = fail but this stuff gives a pretty good result, plus I did spray these panels satin but wasn't happy with it so just had to do something.

Me and my brother have been thinking about mastering real cf so it could be on the cards soon lol

Could be a little venture with the real stuff;) You can get all your carbon from here Carbon fibre cloth, carbon fiber cloth, carbon fiber fabric - Carbon Mods

Pancakes look good man. Was it a packet mix or did you make them from scratch?

The wrapping looks very good too :cool:

I prefer skinning it, using the kits you can get from carbon mods. Itas real carbon fibre and at not much more of a cost than wrapping. Have a look on their website and the tutorials.

I tried the di-noc 3m stuff but didnt like it next to the real carbon at all.

For the interior the vinyl is a gooden I think much better than the off blue sort of colour my original plan was to wrap the outer part of my spoiler but have decided not to use the vinyl I want to try my hand at real carbon for that
