I need more bullet trims if anyone has them for sale
To be honest I’d like to try and carbon skin mine with carbon cloth and a vacuum bag. But it’s good to know something like this can be done.

I've been messing with different base colours and candy red tint to see what different effects you get.
I grabbed some carbon cloth and peel ply off cuts from my mate this evening funnily enough. Just need to find a reasonably priced pair of bullets to have a go at carbon skinning them now

184387194176 Ebay number, this is black on clear carbon.
152457485846 activator.
184387190463 clear carbon fibre, like what I used on my door bullets.
Couple of things I have learnt.
#1 the water needs to be around 30°c
#2 the film needs 120 seconds to soak or until all the wrinkles disappear.
#3 when you spray the activator make sure it looks like glass after you have sprayed it. You can understand over activate.
#4 dip slowly or you stretch the film and it looks crap.
#5 you need to dam around the film as when you activate it it expands and will just float off and fall to bits.
#6 the surface of the water each time need to be immaculate, anything on the surface will contaminate your dip.
#7 after your dip let it sit for 5 minutes before washing the PVA off it seems to take better.
#8 it doesnt like to stick to any shiney surface, just washes straight off.
9# use tape around your edges or the film will curl up.
Think that's it really

I could give it a go if you wanted. Grille wouldnt look to clever though
I'd be interested too in something similar! just the bullets and maybe some interior trims like dash strips. I think you could find a few people similar who are interested.
