carbon overlaying wheel spokes

[IPD]

not bad. i just think the lettering kinda ruins it. that's why i want to shave mine.

I took them to the guys that do Scott goggles, STB Coatings. They have a wall of water film transfer designs that I stared at for over 40 minutes. What I picked up was no where near what I had in mind when I first went there.

I sometimes wish I would of done the True carbon fiber look, but then I open the hood. lol

Call a bunch of local to you powder coat companies and see if they do water film transfer over powder coat.

If you can't find anyone and must have something similar, PM me and we'll see what can happen.

I actually thought and researched shaving them, but in the end decided not to...

[IPD]

are you going to do the rest of your bay? IC pipes? intake pipes? fuel rails?

[CoopKill]

Nope, I have to go with bigger rails. I might do a battery cover to balance the cf look in there, but the rest of the plans are polished stainless not created yet...

thanks to duTTch and linchpinjoe, polished is SO overplayed.

If I was you I would save this paragraph on your computer. It must get tiring explaining this every week.

[CoopKill]

Not a bad idea, or maybe in my sig. lol

Coopkill has CF looking paint on his valve cover. That could be another option for people wanting this look.

Edit: I don't know if you could get that CF 3D look from that though.

ive already done the valve cover in real carbon,had to use a heat resistant resin to lay it up,also did the intake plenum but it was very hard to lay on the curves so i wasnt happy with it,that paint effect looks the dogs tho

then with twill cloth

heres some pics of the work on the wheels today. trimmed them off and buffed down the centers and edges of the spokes using a dremmel with a small sanding tube attachment. then i sanded one full wheel down with a 2'' disc on my air sander 120 grit then 240 grit.its a long process so when i get through all the wheels to that stage ill start with the wet and dry and get it down to a 1200 grit before masking up and painting the whole wheel.
