My mate gave me a bag of 3m vinyl , decided to cover my gear surround

I had done the same, million times better than the cheap looking silver.

It's the 3M Di-Noc isn't it?
You can get other colours, the silver is nice too - a matte effect.

I did the whole interior on the BMW Coupe and it replicated the hugely expensive BMW option quite well.

It forms on corners pretty well too, just warm it with a hairdryer and pull it about. Worth a 'shrink' after wrapping to firm it up.

Nice job - what's next?

Isn't carbon fibre meant to be shiny though?

 

[marc.l]

Only when it can be seen , but structural carbon fibre tends to be flat like un gel coated fibre glass .
Tbh it looks nothing like carbon fibre but is easily removed and I think looks better than the silver it was . Tbh just black pain would look better than the silver it's painted .

No offense to anyone but I personally think carbon is getting a bit yesterday and I think the reason is the availability of these wraps so any spotty yoof can smother his 106 in it.

Unless the car is actually made from the stuff I think Piano Black is the current en vogue finish and you see far more of it on show cars than carbon now.

Mind you if I was given a load of the decent stuff as you have I might be tempted
