How do you do that? Do you do the pattern with a certain stencil? One thing i would do if i ever bought a carbon hood is if my car is black wich it is. I would make some tint black like i used on my rear lights and throw some coats down just to tint it black, but not completely covering up the carbon pattern, then throw some clear down. I think that would look sick. I have done it with candies on a bike and this would not be different.

I think he's mixing a bunch of colors together to find a color that blends into the average color of carbon fiber, to where it looks the same. Not necessarily the same texture
