Alright, so Ive had this sample of carbon fiber fabric sitting around for awhile. Have been looking for a less expensive way to get that CF look without that CF price. After a bit of searching I came across this other automotive forum who were using the fabric as its pretty close to the BMW "Carbon Leather".
This shot here------>  Is after I slapped a small amount on the ashtray lid. But I really want that depth and shine, so i just put some urethane on there and am now awaiting results. Once I get that all nice and coated and sanded I'll throw another pic up on here. But just want to get your guys opinion on this. And keep in mind this is really my first time wrapping anything with anything. Thanks! |

Niiiice job man, I must say. I'm not too much a fan of carbon fiber, but this just looks too good
