Talking Carbon fiber
Just painted a 1st gen aluminum pro stock wing and a fiberglass corvette hood to look like carbon fiber. i'm still playing with the colors, but the cool thing is that i can do it in any color shade like blue, green, yellow, red ect. let me know what you think

I've seen your work before, and I am always impressed.

I would love for you to paint my first gen (one solid color, LOL).

CF comes in 2 patterns.
Regular CF is the square pattern like a checker board.
Twill is patterned in a diagonal pattern.

That's what I used for my dash - I think a Hood is too large for Hydrographics. Although, they could have done a wrap instead.
