Default I need a Dash Panel Painted Carbon Fiber

I have a 1970 Camaro and I want to find someone to paint the dash panel Carbon Fiber style, I have two kinds, Original Factory Woodgrain one and a Aftermarket Black textured Dash Panel. I do not want the Covan's one cause the CF looks cheap also I cannot seem to find anybody to cover mine with either Faux CF or even real CF since they think the Texas heat will cause it to peel off. I have seen Intakes painted CF that look nearly real, so I am looking for someone to do the same to my dash panel. Lemme know if your willing or know of someone I can get in contact with.

Well for one, its not paint, you need to be looking at getting it dipped with hydro graphics. And if done right, getting it covered with real CF shouldnt cause it to peel off at all!

well the sticky back used to lay on the dash panel after awhile may start to come off, thats why alot of shops in my area are unwilling to spend the time to cut the holes out for the bezels cause they think its a waste of there time.

Yea and the guy is super nice. Ive spoken to hima few times. Hell email and let me know when exchange rates are lowest to save me money lol! Hes based in the UK if you didnt know. IM sure there are comparable priducts here but he took the time to explain everything to me and make all those videos, and its still only around $55 shipped for an entire kit. Im going to order a **** load. My interior is going to be 100% red leather, chrome, and carbon fiber. Just wait for my post!

If that kit is $55 shipped, that's one heck of a deal!

I went with the hydrographics. Not as cheap as $55, but in the end, the results were phenomenal!
