Hi,

I am after some interior and exterior panels wrapped in carbon fiber, that is what i meant by overlay

If your handy with your well hands then do a search on google for a company called "carbon mods" they are UK based and sell carbon fibre skinning kits that you do yourself with propped carbon weave. It\'s pretty reasonably priced and they have a video guide on their site that shows you how to do it.

Hope this helps dude

Im here!!! lol
 
Nah seriously i have nearly completed my east bear headlamp conv. that only comes in FRP, as my user name suggests this just would not do!
 
So basically i have \'skinned\' them myself.
 
TBH its allot of hard work and you really wnt to keep the shapes your intending to cover as simple as possible..
 
If doing interior i went with the 3M stuff as Mr Epic above suggests as the contours around the controls re going to get quite messy for someone who has little to none experience in doing this work...
 
However if concerning smooth contoured geometery then go for it as only one way to learn!
Attached some piccys to give you an idea....:Snoring lol

& nearly finished, one more coat of epoxy and clearcoat to go...

 
hope it helps.....
