hey


anyone know whrer you can get '''carbon looking''' vinyl contact sheet?

a4 or a3 in size

thanks

Try a shop that specializes in dirt bikes... I am sure i have seen it on Ebay as well. Other than that, i am sure you will find it in the shit and glitter section at Supercheap, Autobarn, etc..

a 2'x3' sheet on eBay

or this one

an A4 sheet on eBay

Also try PMing Robracer ... he may have some vinyl in a CF patern. If you don't mind me asking, what are you covering / making?

We have a couple of types in stock, its a calendered vinyl that has a carbonfibre print on it the roll is 610mm wide by any length what are you covering ? I ask because its not the most conformable stuff

theres a guy in qld that does some trick process and it looks like carbon, my mate sent all his 12r parts up to him , they turned out awesome, got the ducktail, tank cap, iner fairing covers, and some other bits as well, i dont know how they get it to look like that though.

heh i hadn't 100% decided on what it would cover, thought about customing my own tank protecter

and cover the black plastic areas that surround the tach - if its cut and applied properly - i've seen it look really good on another z1000 forum site.


actually in hindsite its probably a stupid idea.... less is more and stuff.

Yep nail on head

I picked some up from Repco years ago for the dash in the Celica. the problem was the shit gets hot an would lift. Here is another way of doing it if you can paint.

Too hot dave the vinyl is only good up to 80 deg c

Hey Rob,

What types of carbon look vinyl's have you in stock?

I prefer the one with little black squares, not the 'weave' look one. its it gloss? high gloss? matt?

and its 610wide yea? how much would it be for 2 metres of it?

need it to be fairly flexible.. looking at doing the plastic side panels of the Zed.

and putting a layer over the heal plate guards, on the outside face.. with a bit of careful application and a sharp stanley knife, could work out
to be an awesome cheap mod.

We have the square look
610mm wide 2 mtrs would be $22 per mtr incl gst
I would need a day to get it in as we only have 700mm in stock
Its High Gloss
Standard hair dryer needed or work in the sun to conform to shape
