optimoprime Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 hey guys i'm starting a little side venture into doing carbon fiber look wraping. great for smaller bits and peices that you dont want to pay 100+ dollars for just for it to look carbon. so PM me if you want to check some out and see it in person. its really neat stuff and you can do alot with it. as i do more projects i'll update this thread with more picsi can get you the raw material or i can wrap it for you; what ever is easiest for you.here are some pics to show you some ideas of how you can utilize it (this is NOT my work) but i'll snap some pics tonight at bike night of some small bits i did for myself and friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ive been looking for some Carbon Wrap for the gas tank on my CR250. I found some from DecalFX.com that isn't suppose to bubble from tank fumes. What brand are you using? and what makes it good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimoprime Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 using 3m di-noc and its good because 3m makes it!.....but seriously its great to work with because it conforms to complex shapes, its removible with no resedue, it has the actual texture that you can feel, and its 10times cheaper for the exact same effect.not gonna replace carbon wheels but it will do nicely for fairings or wind screens ( the kinda stuff that only gets replaced for looks) if you are close to columbus i can give you some to check out and you decide if its good for your project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIJI-9-Brother Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 can you make the shapes if i don't have the part id like to replace? i need a rear tire hugger as well as a chain guard and two guards for the rear sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Interesting. Never worked with the stuff. So is it adhesive? How does it mold to curves without wrinkling - is it stretchy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demitrix Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You use a heat gun to heat it, which activates the adhesive and lets it conform. Just used some myself for the first time the other day. Amazing product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
