Sure would, but for 360 degree coverage, there will be a seam. I can make the seam hidden from view, but it will exist.

It can be done for sure, we do not have any laying around here to do it with.

I will see if we can simulate it somehow.

Cool

Some Camaro parts (F-body). Don't mind the left over polishing residue.

The old paint is not a problem as long as it is intact. In other words not flaking and peeling off. If it is, simply sand all the loose stuff off, and it will be fine.

Is it possible at all to get a carbon fiber print but not be so shiney? I think that is what I'm looking for. I don't want it necessarily dull looking but more of a satin maybe? I just don't want it to reflect light as much as it is doing in your pics.
Hope that makes sense.

thanks



ALSO- do you have samples/pics of all the CF prints you have/offer? And do you have somewhere I can view price roundabouts? Sorry if you have it listed and I missed it.

Found the prints, for some reason it was painfully slow loading.

Awesome that you do it in satin! I don't like the glossy look. Do

you cut any deals if you get say gauge radio bezel/handle trin/switchplates?

Thanks!

The website has been slow all day, We contacted our webhosting about it already.
The more pieces anyone gets, the easier it is for us. Less gun setup. less gun cleaning, etc... So, yes we will reduce the cost some according to how much time we think we can save.

Thanks, Roger

A few questions. I was going to get this done by another company about a year ago but they were extremely high priced.

1. Can you just do solid colors? I would have them painted but paint does not bond as well as this procedure does to plastic.

2. If so, can you get the insides of the air conditioner vent rings for a Trans Am?

The only way to do solid colors is to just paint them.
I do not know of any films where they are a solid color.
We are still looking though.
