Default Hydrographics, YB Cam cover. Before & after.

Not completely finished yet still needs to be clear coated but managed to sneak a look!

Really pleased with what he's done considering how bad it was.

What do you think?

Most of the recesses will be painted black as it's too difficult to get in them areas without the carbon effect looking stretched.

Will put some close ups of the finished article later

Don't know his username on here, but a guy from NI got his cam cover 3d dipped in Carbon.




Personally I don't think sierras suit carbon. Wrong era of car for carbon. Escos yes, not Sierra

To be honest, while the page loaded, I was ready to not like it, but, it actually looks really good! Must admit, im not a massive fan of carbon effect stuff, but considering the size of a yb rocker cover it looks good...

I'm just sick of the usual paint & polish look fancied something different.

Think it will look good when laquered & fitted

It's been clear coated now with a tint of black in it.

I'm told this will hold up to the heat but only time will tell.

Will post the finished pictures tomorrow when it's dry

I like the process just not the carbon effect. Looks like fake carbon which it is.

Alloy wheels and wings looks great dipped.
