Carbon Vinyls

[AK]

Has anyone ever used these?

Are they any good?

Was thinking about getting it to have a go at the dash strips, maybe the diamonds too!

Something like this:

A few people on here have used t hem, they say they turned out well and looked like the real thing. I was gonna get some but I couldn't be arsed tbh.

it does depend on what you want to use it for as the foil backed vinly doesn't conform to complex shapes well.

 

[AK]

Cheers for the answers. Would be for the dash strips and if they turned out alright then the front and rear diamonds ..

Would that work?

[AK]

How comes lol

 

[AhmedRSi]

+1 duck! looks nice

 

[AhmedRSi]

How comes its so hard to use? any tips?

 

[theduck]

Hard to use because it doesnt like bending and doesn't stick too well. However it looks mint if you get it right.

 

[AK]

Did you try sanding down before sticking? How did you get it to stick lol?

 

[theduck]

bit of tape on the back where its folded round lol. Not sanded down

 

[AK]

lol cool stuff mate!

Just ordered some, so will have a play with it when it arrives!

 

[donphan]

I did my badge, the only pic I have is of my caf placement, But you can see the badge well.

I didnt use any tape, just a hair dryer and a new stanley blade. Get it hot so it goes over the curves well. And dont give up if it looks rubbish first time!

 

[theduck]

yours the foil backed stuff?

 

[AK]

Aha hairdryers a good shout mate.

What sorta material is it? I was under the impression it was just a sticker?

 

[donphan]

Yes matey foil backed, and it was a pain in the arce,

Its sticky backed stuff yea.

 

[AK]

Got it today! Easy to use, just heat it with a hairdryer and it wraps itself round whatever your sticking it too!

 

[winkle57]

That exact one mate!

I've tried using the foil backed stuff and it just wouldn't stick even with a hairdryer, it worked on a flat surface but if there were any corners or straight lines it wasnt having any of it lol. Good luck with yours though!

 

[AK]
