ali_legend Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Alright guys/gals. Was looking for a thread about CF but couldn't rally find anything. I'm thinking of CF wrapping some of the interior plastics.? about how much CF would i need and would i need to clear lacquer it after.? Cheers in advance peeps Quote
ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Depends what plastics you want to wrap really on how much you'll need i suppose. No you wont need to clear lacquer it after. I haven't on any of the things i've wrapped anyway Quote
ali_legend Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 Probably do the centre console, dial surround, ermm door handle bits and arm rest thing on the door, around the handbrake. lool not sure what else but the little interior plastics.? is it difficult to do.? Quote
ep91face Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I've wrapped a few bits recently, single gauge pod,both ashtrays, the interior door handle inserts and the clock, got all these done comfortably with 2 a4 sheets, once its heated up it stretches and moulds quite easily! Quote

ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 The only advice i can give you is to degrease the plastics as much as you can, stick the wrap to it and use a heat gun carefully to mould the wrap around the plastic. It is a bit fiddly but take your time, buy tidy carbon wrap and you should be fine. I get mine from a mates mate who owns a graphics shop Quote
ali_legend Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 Would you be able to send us some.? Lol obv I'd pay. Dano which ones good as I've never used the stuff. Quote
ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Ill ask my mate when he's back in work wednesday if you can have the guys phone number and he should be able to tell you how much you'll need etc then and you can speak to him about buying some if you like Quote
ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Here's what i quickly wrapped the other day. Did the door pillars on my other 2 cars but havent got any pics Quote
ali_legend Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 Cheers boss. Yh let us know. I wanna do the ashtray, dial surround, door handles, centre console and other little bits. NoT quite brave enough to do the door pillars yet Quote
metalmickey0 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 That looks cool. Think I may have a go at that too. Am getting bored if the plasticky look too. Quote
