Finally decided to tackle the interior of my new project and tried my hand at covering the wood dash pieces with CF. I know it's not for everyone, but I'm going for a sporty look. I used Magical Carbon from Senko http://youtu.be/uU9deH-xgUE The stuff is fairly easy to use....similiar to DNoc, but don't get this confused with the 3M crap. This is real CF with adhesive backing. I wrapped the pieces first and covered all the curves and contours. After it set, I applied 3-4 coats of clear enamel to fill in the texture since out of the box, Magical Carbon has texture to the surface. After that, I knocked it down with 320 grit, then applied about 3-4 more coats, knocked it down again with 320, applied a final 2 coats, and then hit it with 1000 grit. Then I polished it with body scrub, then polish, then.....WOW.....high gloss with deep dimension and detail. It's a little time consuming, but for a fraction of the cost of custom carbon, it's a very inexpensive alternative. I bought the XL sheet for a couple hundred bucks and covered all wood panels with the one sheet. Before: After:
Damn I should send you some of my external pcs and have you do them. Those came out really clean man. Keep up the work!
Really nice out come :biggthumpup: Been thinking the past few years of doing my interior pieces similarly, spray glue - carbon matt - resin - finish with sanding/polishing. This is gonna get me do mine faster =)
I was going to dip, but it's expensive and does not have the depth that this real CF has. The pieces will go on my SC430.
at: Not much to update....my builder went AWOL for a month, but hopefully back in the saddle. Everytime I get into a big build, someone drops the ball, and it's not me....
