Im after some fake carbon fibre sheets so i can cover transmission tunnel- side panels, where can i get it from?

Vinyl ??

I bought a massive roll off of ebay for not a lot.

Theres loads of the 3M stuff and 3D carbon etc

I was asking about this a couple of days ago, someone pointed me in the direction of 3M di-noc. If you search on google a few companies came up and the prices aren't too bad. Apparently it looks authentic too!

Noo never the carbon effect stuff, you won't fool anyone with it, and it look naff. Proper stuff or nothing

i've got no problem with carbon fibre (even that di-noc stuff is ok) if it doesn't have to be, but what i absolutely can't abide, is this type of carbon fibre effect stuff

Over this weekend I have been making the instrument panel for the dashboard, out of MDF, and decided to cover it with DiNoc.
I think the result is very good, it is hard to tell that it is vinyl without a very close inspection

I also used it to cover the boot lid

interesting, i think i can tell the difference quite easy (i'm not saying i actually can, but i think i know the difference)
post 2 pictures, 1 of each, and i want to see if i can tell which is di-noc and which is real without having seen the photos before

ok, well, its a bit sneaky coz the 2nd one is a loose sheet, not a part, but i'd say the top one is di-noc, becasue it lacks any sort of gloss.
proper carbon has a nice shine to it from the resin

am i right?

Ah! But! I spray it with 2 coats of clear coat, it then looks like the second pic

^ and the join down the middle lol

yep, real carbon or nothing
does clear coat laquer like going over vinyl? i'm not sure it would stick well
