you want to paint something to look like carbon fiber?

good luck trying to paint c/f. it'll take a nice long time. j/k bro.

you can buy c/f sticker rolls on ebay. all you have to do is cut the amount that you need and stick it on where ever you want them to go.

Here, this is a better idea:

you can send them parts of your car and they will "carbon fiber" it. It is applied to the surface but it's not a sticker. It looks pretty fresh. Check it.

Yeah I saw those same carbon fiber sticker rolls at advanced auto parts.

That dash trim kit looks like one you could buy off ebay. I got something similiar off ebay for my gen4, but it was C/F, not wood. Check out the thread I started about c/f.

^ But some can't afford it. True, but about 70% of the dash kits are fake CF, hence they're CHEAP. Mine costs about $300 but lucky me, I won it on Speedoptions.com about 4 years ago.

True real carbon fiber is a lot better looking and cleaner but this is a nice way to go if you're just looking to do some simple trim pieces etc. My buddie did a few small pieces on his grand am like vent rings, door handle trim etc, and it looks

Ultra-graphics actually does a pretty good job.

I know that fake c/f looks like crap compared to the real thing. I found out especially when I got my order of c/f dash trim kit. It looked so sexy after I put them on.

Quick question for those who might know... If I wanted to c/f other pieces in my car, can I just pop out the pieces and lay c/f mat on them and put resin on them just like you would for f/g? Or is the process of c/f different from f/g? Thanks for all your help.

mmmm.... idont' think is that easy. I'd tried looking into it before. I don' t remember specifics, just try google.

[warlock]

you cant paint it to look like C/F but you can paint C/F.

Just buy rolls of carbon fiber cloth and epoxy it where you want it. It's really cheap.
