JZA70 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Needed something that stood out. Black carbon was not showing up very well if at all. Plus very common. Orange A17 used to match the car and gold carbon film. The good thing is that can be changed when you get bored with it. A quick rub down, primer coat, colour you want then re-dip with new design then clear coat. did these in a day without any hassle. Next challenge is center console and gear surround. That's enough. Will post when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post when done. You might find that the black needs a lighter base coat. If you use a dark undercoat it will be harder to see the carbon. Make sure your tank is deep enough for the centre console so you can get the dipping angle right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZA70 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Best to practice a few times on odd bits and pieces before doing your parts. Plenty of instruction on You Tube. Start small. Like the flat ash tray lid. I've not rubbed the parts down to remove surface finish, just a light sand and solvent wipe, primer, colour, hydrodrip ( make sue film right way up, rinse with warm water after applied, to remove semi-dissolved cover film, dry), clear coat x 2 or 3 times. Deep scratches you should fill although with the carbon effect they are not that obvious, but a full hyro graphics design might still show them. Don't rush it.....
