There was somebody on here , can't remember who now , who had their front diamond and bullets carbon dipped . Thats what he called it . Don't know the ins and outs of it , but it was some kind of paint and the effect when done was carbon .

I remember alot of people commenting on it , saying it looked good . I had a quik look for the thread but couldn't find it . It was about 2 years ago or thereabouts .I think he had a white 1*2 or replica .

I cant remember who used to own it, but remember the pics.
Didnt it have a leopard print engine cover or something totally random lol.

 

[Final Maxim]

is that the film that they lay on the water, then you dip the part in and the film wraps round the item and sticks to it?

I just remember whoever it was saying his mate did the badge and bullets and they were " carbon dipped " .

 

[iain187]

Carbon fibre cloth? Do you guys have the same dealer?

It comes as cloth mate. Then then add a resin. So she's right, of sorts.

[Laura]

and decided to go for a wander, what an eventful day that turned out to be lol

 

[Savi]

yeah, vynal the carbon or as laura said, you can buy clothes/sheets of carbon fibre to lay it over the piece you want carbon fibre-ing...

 

[Fred@BTM]

this is a paint process the OP is on about, i've seen it done and it is very good

 

[Jungle_Jim]

there are a number of ways to achieve the look

1) get a mold of the part and get a geniune CF replacement
2) buy thin CF sheet and cover the part
3) use CF effect vinyl
4) use a paint process where you lay down a black base coat, then apply a weave material over the top and spray silver through it

[Jungle_Jim]

here they do pretty much a whole car using the painting technique

[tonyt]

there is also another way, which is to cover the original part in carbon fibre fabric, resin the lot then trim and finish it using laquer and finally polish.... there are benefits and disadvantages to all methods though to be honest..

[Fred@BTM]

carbon dipping exists

 

[R1XPH]

^ Care to elaborate ?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Right !!! Found the post about the white 172 with the Carbon Dipped badges .Apparently it's called Hydrographic dipping . I'm surprised it didn't take off tbh , it actually does look like carbon fibre from the pics .

[VeinAST]

Should just get tonyt to do it imo

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Should just get tonyt to do it imo

Yeah , but i'm actually answering the OP question not meandering away from it :quiet:

 

[tonyt]

i actually think the finish of this looks VERY good, my only criticism would be its very uniform, and it doesnt have the depth you get with real carbon fibre...

all the best

Thanks for the help from the few people rather than the s**t banter on the first.
