actual carbon fibre or the 3M stuff?

if it's actual carbon, then it should just be a matter of prep (i.e. slight sand/clean the surface), apply resin and carbon; allow to cure for approx 20mins (till almost dry), then apply gel coat; allow to dry, sand as required. for larger bits, i.e. the aircon thingo, you might want to use a little spray adhesive to loosely tack the carbon in place first.

make sure there are no air bubbles.

3M stuff... I guess u need to clean the surface, then use a heat gun to make the film easier to apply into the correct shapes etc...

yeah talking about the film stuff it's just so difficult to do I tried everything I could think of and I basically need more now due to the stuff ups lol

door cups are impossible to do, as is the upper console to a reasonable degree i did a spare one but im not a fan of where the lines have to intersect
you had to pick the 2 hardest panels on the car

Dam u where basically the only person I thought would know how to I'm gonna have to do two layers on the upper panel door cup back to the drawing board hahaha

honestly if your dead set on having them both in carbon fibre, get them dipped like dwayne - it will look 20x better on those panels compared to wrap

Fair call where can I get this done at abducted what price are we looking at if u know

not sure, youll have to ask dwayne

Sweet no worries hopfully he sees this soon if not I'll have to swing a pm to him
Thanks again Taz

Door cups aren't impossible. I have done them. Just requires a lot of patience while stretching with the heat gun.

Wanna do mine then I dont have that patience thing hahaha

I tried, i really did, it makes it almost impossible without resorting to having overlap or a join seam etc. Just gave up on mine
would be so much easier and for basically the same price to get em dipped and have a perfect weave pattern etc

Perhaps it's because you are using DI NOC. Took me about 30 minutes for each door cup with the Scotchprint 1080. And with a single piece. No overlapping or joins.

That's what I got the scotchprint 1080 one

The DashBoard Centre does the dipping, I can dig through my emails and get quotes for you for door cups and upper centre console from when I emailed them. http://www.dashboardcentre.com.au/produ ... cts_id=218

That would be great mate cheers

Bad news... they didn't quote individual parts for me; they gave me an all up cost, sorry mate :S... But they quoted me $590 to do door handles + cups, gear surround and upper centre console. So I wouldn't think that it would be all that much just for door cups and upper centre console, probably a few hundred....

yeah sweet thats alright I'll send an enquiry thanks again
