Postby sharpy » Sun Mar 31, 2013 1:20 pm

I was thinking of doing the grille centre section as well. Would it be over the top?

It's white, a tried doing grille centre section today but couldn't get it hot enough for the carbon wrap to loose its memory. Be just the bonnet now.

mates a signwriter and does this stuff he has an infrared thermal tool thingy that tells him how hot to get it. I can find out more if you want but have seen some of his work and looks awesome I prefer paint though!!

Cheers

i have done this a few time but never something big like a bonnet but you need a hot air gun or at least a hair dryer but with vinyl wrap practice makes perfect
just take your time

Bonnets wrapped now looks good. In carbon fibre. Just need my centre grill painted. Thought I would fit a tinted sun strip as well.
