I bought a good bit of this stuff in December. Nice to see the results come out so nice. i will be doing my dash when I get some time.

Now is this stuff like actual carbon stuck on vinyl or is it just a layered sticker that looks like carbon??? I'm just curious because it looks so real. Also it would be nice to get it with a clear layer on top to give it that resin look.

anyone have a link for the stuff? kind of tempted to test it out on a few similar small projects.

It is the so-called 3D carbon fiber sticker by 3M. It has the texture of carbon fiber, not these cheap carbon fiber stickers.
here is the link if i may post it, http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/
as a matter of fact, you can paint clear coat on top of the vinyl to make it look glossy! I have seen people do that on the internet, but i havnt tried.

time to wrap the whole car lol

thatll run you about 600-1k in materials retail...just fyi

if you want to wrap a whole car, oracal is one the best brands to look into

do u think it is possible to wrap the back hfp rear lip the black part?

Ya I think its possible. I might try to do it when the weather gets warmer! ha

Just curious, why is oracal better?

Just curious, why is oracal better?

3m is probably the best but its also pricey...oracal from what i understand is extremely easy to manipulate, does well with complex surfaces and tight radiuses, has good durability and adhesion, and can be removed from the car without leaving hard to remove residue or ruin paint. its very different from automotive sign vinyl which will hurt the paint
