Here is some pics that I had done to our Shop Car which is a C6 Corvette.
Everything is done in Black Carbon Fiber.There is C5 Gauge Bezel as well.

Cool . . do the wheels get "coated" with or without tires? . . .

 

I want carbon fiber coated tires LOL

 

The wheels are not coated, they are dipped. No tires on wheels when done.
I guess the correct term is "Hydro Dipping" LOL

Chris

 

the wheels look sick..but the interior is a bit much for my liking..but great work

 

I want to do that to my wheels but I cant afford it

 

How much would you guys charge to do all these pieces for a 97 trans am?
Radio Bezel
Door Handel Bezel
Window Switch Bezel
Upper Console Plate (auto)
Inside of the air vents (not the actual rotating vent but the bezel they set in, same on the actual gauge surround but if possible leaving the rest of it black)
The harness rings for my 6LE seats...

I think thats about all i got lol, carbon fiber like you used on that vette stuff

 

Cool stuff . . . just trying to understand the process . . .

 

I will get you a price and PM you with it.



It is actually a simple process, just takes a little time to get the technique down. Basicly lay the material in water, spray activator on top of material, wait 30-50seconds and dip the piece into the water/material. The water acts like a vacuum and wraps around the item being dipped.

The wheels are cool, how durable is the dip?

 

Do you guys do a carbon fiber dip that has more of a flat finish?

 

The dip is just the design. The durability comes in on the prep and the type of clear that is used. The wheels are a powder base clear that is then baked on.


That will be the design color of the material. I believe there is one that has more of a dull effect.

Chris

 

So its durability is comparable to powder coat?

 

No, its durability is comparable to a professionally painted piece from an auto body shop. Primer, basecoat, clearcoat.
