Default is it hard to carbon wrap?

Thinking about carbon fibre wrapping my centre console in my car, just wondering. is it hard to do? or is it best to get a professional at it?

depends ion which method,

if you are going to wrap with proper carbon fabric the is a bit tricky but very labour intensive due to amount of polishing an apllying of resin.
If you are going to use di-noc then its pretty simple, with a little heat the vinyl is easy to manipulate and if you get it wrong simply pull the area off and reaply

Dan www.rapidford.co.uk can price up some materials for you.

Hope this helps.
