Ashley Carter 8 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I had my speedo surround, door handles and a couple of blanking switches dipped in carbon. Just though I would show you a couple of pics. The main reason was I ordered one of those carbon stick on speedo surrounds and it just did not for right with the chrome rings.

daveyboy 897 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I agree with mike carbon skinning is the way to go. The carbon dip looks shit in my opinion. It reminds me of the carbon look film.you got free on max power back in the late 90 's Link to post Share on other sites

Reaperx 181 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sorry to sound dumb , what's carbon skinning ??Carbon skinning is basically wrapping a part in genuine carbon fibre. Looks so much better and increases the strength of the part. Link to post Share on other sites
Big J 283 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well you do learn something every day. In that case, I haven't skinned my lead runners I've wrapped them with 3M wrap. Still bloody hard work! Link to post Share on other sites
