Amazing carbon fiber picture

I really like the realistic look of carbon fiber. When laid directly onto real carbon fiber. it's just a few shades darker. but also catches the light. You can't tell it's man-made carbon fiber unless you get really close to it, and even then it's still hard to tell. It's thicker and had some trouble fixing it to extremely complex 90 degree shapes, even the 3m 1080 and the Avery Dennison Supreme900. It would be difficult at our tricky corners, after heating the vinyl will play well around tricky spots. The glue got stronger within a few hours. After installation the adhesive didn't seem to stick firmly to the surface but I prefer it compared to the fact that the vinyl is EXTREMELY HARD during installation and difficult to patch or work on. Compare this to my favorite vinyl record, Avery's sw900, and compare it to unnamed Chinese brand vinyl records. I say it's closer to the easy install of good brands like Avery and 3m. What to Expect: Complex raised curves may need discrete cutting or stitching with interlinings. works almost like chrome foil with less stretch but not as difficult to work with just thicker vinyl. Use Primer94 on edges near curves and problem areas. Pros: Looks amazing when seen alongside real carbon fiber even in sun or shade there isn't much of a difference. glittering. easier to work with unnamed brands. Price! its price is good for what it is. Cons: The adhesive could be a little better, but it's a good middle ground between excessive grip (poor) and no grip at all, as it sticks after sitting on a surface for an hour or 2 years, and difficult to fit areas. The grips look like chrome pads, but they are not the deciding factor, just need to adjust the technique.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No
