Yeah, took a while, but getting better at it. Should have chosen something fairly flat to start with though. Heat gun makes a huge difference.

Re: Tried my Hand at CF Wrap Today
Im a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this sort of stuff, so I tend to notice all the things I wish were better. Its reasonable, but I had to put a join on the lower handle area and the indents in front of the window switches arent perfect. I possibly would have been better cutting those out. Having said that, there arent any creases,rips or bubbles.

Re: Tried my Hand at CF Wrap Today
Noice! I reckon if I was ever to do anything to the interior it would be something like that. I really don't mind how everything looks stock, but that's a good way to clean things up a bit.

Re: Tried my Hand at CF Wrap Today
Yes, but had to do a join. Just playing around at the moment and learning howto best do things.

Re: Tried my Hand at CF Wrap Today
Even though the workmanship seems spot on, personally I think fake carbon on a car especially of this high standard only detracts from it.
Have you tried vinyl wrapping coarse plastics, like the under door sills for example? Maybe some brushed aluminum wrap on them would look good

Re: Tried my Hand at CF Wrap Today
This isnt my Aero, its my daily drive and just experimenting at the moment. Not sure if itll stay. Hadnt thought of the door sills. The complete car is going to be wrapped soon, so may have a bit of a play with them then.Even though the workmanship seems spot on, personally I think fake carbon on a car especially of this high standard only detracts from it.

Re: Tried my Hand at CF Wrap Today
For almost seamless joins, you can use Knifeless Tape.
It is a thin tape that has a filament inside that cuts the vinyl when removed.
You stick it where you want the cut or join to be, then you stick on the vinyl.
If you need a join, slightly overlap the two pieces then pull the filament out of the tape and remove the excess pieces of tape.
Because you overlap the vinyl, the join will now be almost invisible.
