You can find the 3m di-noc stuff on ebay in various sheet sizes .
We are wrapping my vito van next weekend , will try and get a couple of large offcuts for beefy to have a play with .
Not sure if it's gna work on the interior panels tho. Might be better off getting some interior trimming vinyl with the carbon pattern on.

you can buy the 3m di-noc from a place called spandex, or w smiths, come 1340 wide and up to 50 mtrs long.

best stuff is hexis carbon tho, more of a shine and easier to work with

you can buy it from hexis mail order, start from the middle and work outwards, make sure you hide all edges and heat it properly,

looks great,

looks great,
the stuff you have done looks brilliant

if you wrap a plastic motorbike panel with graphics on it, i presume you would see the lumps of the graphics underneath still?

can you easily remove the film afterwards withot damaging the paint underneath (especially on plastic motorbike panels)?

how on earth do you do a motorbike helmet? i can't imagine how you can apply a flat sheet to what is basically a round object?

thanks

Hi have just joined the forum as this post popped up in google whilst searching for Mondeo Carbon Wrap, can anyone tell me which is the best stuff if I wanted to attempt it myself? I think ive found the right 3m stuff here; www.carbonfibrewrap.com which is cheaper than ebay (if its the right stuff) but can any point me in the direction of hexis, also which would you recommend, never wrapped anything before, so easiest to use would be best?

Thanks!
