Carbon wrap

Thought I would have a go at some wrapping. I used 3m 1080 Anthracite carbon film.
Wasn't quite as easy as I thought from looking at youtube videos. Its very fiddly around corners and hence my application isn't perfect but still not bad for a first attempt

RE: Carbon wrap

Hey Steve, that's an excellent effort for your first attempt, looks really cool Cool . The more you work with the stuff, the easier it gets. I've found in the past (as I'm sure you already have) that getting lots of heat into it makes it more pliable for working on complex shaped areas. Top job there! The bits you've done are by no means easy to wrap, even for the most proficient of wrappers. What else is on the cards for wrapping then?! Very Happy Paula xx
