Title: Carbon fibre wrap
Post by: higher1 on June 12, 2012, 09:26:36 pm

There seems to be lots of carbon fibre wrap going on at the moment ie sticky back plastic made to look like carbon fibre has anyone used it can you recommend any?

the 3M stuff is even suppose to have a weave feel to it !

sorry mods if this is in the wrong section

There's plenty to chose from, I even sell it/wrap parts with it too, but one I use is from a company called Hexis. 3M is just a brand that's known well, but the hexis is as good, if not better. It's really nice to work with I can at least say that. There are a couple of variations on it too, a matt effect (like dry carbon, the ultra light weight stuff) or a gloss effect (which is more like the carbon we see on road cars, with a laquer). Just depends what you want

Hope that helps

Quality stuff, but I'm bored with it now  :booty:
