faux carbon fiber

[Raux]

Design even looks pretty stretched in places.

I am a fan of natural finishes, but would rather paint over real CF to appear cheaper than I amâ€"not the other way around.

a good example is the DP CF tail cover for the 696/1100

I can't open the video at work. Is it the same as this? http://www.trackwraps.com/  They have a carbon fiber finish and it's pretty cheap.

this is a cool process, here is an example of what people from the south do with it . what's cool are the possibilities for interesting finishes. they spray a base coat which alters how the hydro dip will look. ie red carbon fiber, pink camo. and come on man, they have camo dead animal skulls, that's just great

as far as i can tell... this is not the same as the product/process BellisMoto had a thread about.


The stuff that OP posted looks like crap in real life and in photos.  i forgot what the process is called but its like water something. 

I cant say for sure... but it looks like the stuff BellisMoto has uses real CF while this process uses something similar to a decal.

i confess, i didnt pay much attention to randalls thread...

is this the same process that he wanted folks to pay him to send their bits to japan to have done?

Nope - the process in Randalls thread involves real CF fibers being wrapped around the parts, as opposed to this printing process.  

Dang.. I was just trying up the same thing!

This process is done with paint, too. Albeit a different result.  Here's a link to page showing how to get a swirly paint job.  Pretty good looking on a guitar, anyway...  http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/swirled.htm
