Thanks. I just got Dip Coat today, which makes a noticeable difference on the smoothness of the texture. It is smoother, without being completely slick. DYC.com has many tutorial videos and one was on getting a CF look. I altered mine somewhat by using dark grey vs. gunmetal gray, going for a more subtle CF effect. I also used a Satin enhancer vs. Glossy. I did not want it too shiny.
It does not scratch easily, especially with the Dip Coat. It does peel off if I want it to, but it is on there for good until I decide to peel it. I put on a good 4-6 total coats.
Here is the dip CF video:
