i scanned over the thread and didn't see anything about durability. Is this going to have powdercoat durability or is it just like a paint job?

MUST SUBSCRIBE TO THREAD!! Here's a questions I didn't see asked and I read every post.

Is there anyway you could post a link that shows all of the available patterns even though you may not be using all of them initially?

EDIT: I found a site with quite a few patterns but I doubt that's all that's available. They also had custom patterns as well. Will you be able to do custom patterns and if so, what would be the process behind that? Will we need to supply some type of design?

The finish is as durable as your car's paint. It is a base coat / clear coat.

Once we get going, our website will have an available pattern list. If you want something, we can get it. We won't stock it all, but we can have a pattern in a matter of days.

Custom patterns can be done, but it will literally cost several thousand dollars. I am actually going to design 1 or 2 patterns myself to see how it goes.

Guess I won't be getting a custom one LOL! I saw one on another site that would be cool on my car somewhere. Once you get running though and I figure out everything I want done I'll let you know. Good luck with everything!

I had My Center Console, Speedometer Bezel, Door Trim, Radio Trim and Steering wheel done in a Classic Carbon Fiber pattern by Autodynamicswest. If I have more items I want done, Can you match their Carbon Fiber Or should I have them do it?

I need to see pictures of the pattern, I am sure it's easy to match. I would also like to know the basecoat color they used on your parts

Thanks, Roger

Yes we will be doing that on the website, so poeple can choose what they want.

Thanks, Roger

Think you could do calipers? I am going to get mine powder coated soon but some CF dipped calipers would be bad ***! I just need to know if this would be cheaper than powder coating?

That looks like an imperfection in the clearcoat. The print looks fine to me.

Cheetoh, yes I will have access to that pattern, and it looks like a simple black base coat. If you look at the pattern I posted of the carbon fiber weave in front of the wash tank, it is the same weave. The one I did was a gold and clear weave. Yours looks like a silver and clear weave, but the same one. Duplicating that would not be a problem.

There is nothing wrong with it.. It must be the Glare from the Flash..

Autodynamicswest did all my hydrographics, It looks alot better in Person than that photo.. I assume emblem pros will be able to do steering wheels too.

Can do

Wouldn't try due to the material being super flexible
Can do - I am even considering removing all of the interior plastic trim in my car and doing it all in a nice CF weave. T-top trim, door panels, everything; sand it smooth and dip it all.
