So do you use the covering technique or have you got moulds made up for the bits youve done, Matt?
Looking at the videos on the CarbonMods site, it looks pretty simple (although I know it wont be!). I love all this creating lark, so i might invest in some and see what I can do for my ERST

gonna try some of this on some aprilia bits to match my factory front mudguard, rear hugger and dash trim. they all have a kind of natural matt finish rather than the glossy finish that i have seen. anyone know the difference?
