Hey Kustom, could you post some prices on the CF sheets, and the clear, and post some larger pics of your ride to see what it looks like? I'm diggin the green actually... This summer I plan to paint my car some shade of lime green-ish. More like the new gaytona chargers, or a Murcielago green, somehting along those lines. I just think it would look cool. The carbon fiber looks straight as hell though. You should wrap more stuff, like interior maybe. I KNOW people would be interested in wrapping their dashes and consoles and stuff if you sold your hands... good job man.

 

what did you do to make the kandy paint stick without primer or base coat?

 

It sticks to the clear rezin that was used to cover the carbon fiber...he probally just scuffed it a little fine grit sandpaper and then just sparyed the kandy over it. That is how you do carbon fiber hoods and that.

that's clean as hell mang! I'd love to do something like that on my car one day. Keep up the good work

 

dosen't compactdivision.com have the cf mirrors for sell I think I seen them on there.

 

Alsa is definitley amazing, I will use them from now on, theyre high quality but no where near as high priced as HOK or even PPG...

BlizagaXx- Check ebay for prices on carbon fiber sheets, its not TOO high, the clear is regular 3.5 supergloss clear (not the highest quality stuff but my budget is extremely limited) around here with the discount of my school it runs $70-$100/gal... and then alsa's candy concentrate is $89 I think for 8 oz.
I would post some pics of my car except its not done yet... as a matter of fact right now it has no front bumper, back bumper, fenders, hood and paint lol... It should be done next month ( IF I CAN GET THESE @!@!@!@!@!2 LAMBOS DONE)

Redturbulence is right, I just used a medium reducer to wipe them down to make sure no grease, oils ETC was on it, and then skuffed them lightly.

Not very long at all lol, like, learned it in class, probably painted 3 things there... And then the rest was just trial and error
