Carbon Fiber wrapping..

So, its defiantly not near perfect.. but heres what I got.. I decided to use something pretty small so I didn't end up wasting it, but could see what its like.. the quality is amazing!

So, heres what I did.. I covered a spark plug cover..

I think the look is pretty slick.. I plan on doing a lot more parts and hope i'll get good enough to sell this skill soon! I sprayed it with clear coat to get a shine and im waiting for it to dry and i'll post pictures..

yea, its a crappy cell phone camera.. I put clear coat on it afterward, and I plan on taking it outside today and getting more pictures.. or even some on a valve cover.. It has obvious flaws, but im super siked that In a few hours I had it done and most of it looks pretty awesome.. (the spark plug cover ended up being rough cause of the crazy shape of it, but a lot of pther parts would be waaaay easier.. I don't think its vinyl.. may be though.. its weird, like cloth and a sticker at the same time.. the texture is amazing..

heres a brighter picture of it.. its hard to catch the carbon fiber pattern with my cell phone camera but I held it at an angle so the light would reflect better..

Depends if you buy it in small quantities or large. I just bought a roll of blue/black carbon fiber cloth that's 5 ft by 12 ft for $175. I could practically do the whole car with that much.
