Has anyone tried their hand at carbon wrapping?

[fq-craigus]

I ordered a sheet of carbon vinyl last night, only £8 delivered for 620mm x 1m.

I'm going to try my hand at some wrapping but start of small and work my way up.

Has anyone got any advice before I start as I have never tried this to date, I would like to do my side panels on my spoiler eventually

Just take your time, you'll soon get the hang of it.

Yh I've just watched a couple of tutorial videos on YouTube looks easy enough. I'll prob have a go with my spoiler sides they are relatively flat.

I haven't done carbon look stuff but I've done smarties

Like the captain said, just take your time. And try not to stretch it too much as it'll throw the weave out

I think time is the key here. Does temp make any difference as I want to avoid taking the spoiler off if possible

Yes temp does make a difference you don't want to be going of on one if you haven't got the patience:whistling:

Well well couldn't pull the wool over your eyes could I Geoff lol.

I have the patience hence 2 and half hour hours masking my rear badges lol. I've just been told that taking the spoiler off isn't the easiest job in the world

I'll pop down to my mates workshop and plant myself in front of the heater I think, at least I will stay warm too lol

I've got a feeling I have ordered the textured cf vinyl if I have and don't like the finish is there a way to build it up to laquer it nice smooth and shiny

 

[fq-craigus]

Well it took me nearly an hour and Half but it's all done

As nicky said it's all about patience. Some good convo while I'm wrapping it and it's a winner
