just finished one side a few hours ago and here it is. On one picture you will see why i did this.
DIY 3m carbon wrap
- Thread starter NSXEXY
- Start date
What kind of material did you buy? Im going to do some interior parts on my S4 and want to get some. Looks good. They have some stuff you can paint over now and It looks like the wet CF.
Wow that came out nice!
where can i get some of that stuff, I want to do some parts on my bike. Looks great, nice job
came out real nice! :smile:
Looks great man! How hard was it to do, and where did you get it? I want to do a couple small pieces of interior on my car.
I recently used the 3m wrap on my interior pieces and they came out looking great. Will post pics as soon as I have a chance to finish reinstalling them, unfortunately work has taken me away from my toy for a few weeks. The wrap was fairly inexpensive considering the other option of true CF parts. Pretty easy to work with, use a heat gun CAREFULLY to warm the film and it stretches and bends very well. Heat it too much and the wrap loses it's texture and turns dark. Great product overall. Bought it online at carbonfibervinyl.com arrived quickly.

It's 3M Dinoc. 100x better than the regular carbon fiber vinyl out there. Alot easier to work. http://www.carbonfibervinyl.com/
Really easy to work with, just heat it up and it pretty much forms to any curve. I was interested as well and wanted to try it out so I covered my laptop.

WOW. That makes me want to do all my appliances in cf wrap. My Hoover and Maytag are about to get alot cooler looking.
Not to be negative, but am I the only one who think it looks really fake?
I don't know if it looks fake or not....since nobody uses real CF any more I have nothing to compare it to. All of the tackiness, none of the function. 
CF is for strength and weight savings....that is why it is "cool". This craptastic wrap is the equivalency of lambo doors on a civic. Get over it.

That looks great.
Question: How well does it hold up against scratches?
Question: How well does it hold up against scratches?
while i was cutting out some of the pieces the surface was being scratched on my table, after looking over it, i do not see one scratch on the entire piece. So i think it will hold very well against scratches. Plus, if you see some just take the blow dryer to it and they will go away. :wink:
make sure if you show a friend that they dont run their nails on it. it leaves visible marks on the texture.
cool thanks

Looks great, I never thought about doing that. I might go downstairs to my bike right now and do that!
