Pete Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Is it difficult to do this?? Never worked with vinyl sheeting before but thought it might look pretty smart having my door cards with a carbon fibre effect on them, well, better than they look at the mo. Just wondered if anyone has any experience with vinyl sheets and if its easy enough to apply to door cards, I've seen people use them on flat surfaces alot but obviously lupo door cards aren't exactly flat!!

Huw Pugh Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 3M Carbon Vinyl is easy to work with, its really plyable once heated. You may need some help doing it though. Holding a hairdryer, applying and smoothing out the airbubbles isn't easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 To be honest I'm not sure what else to do with them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Remove the material and cover them in fiberglass or some kind of product that will harden , then sand back until smooth and finish them in a nice gloss black.

Pete Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've had a go at that and couldn't get the finish spot on so I've covered it in cloth temporarily to cover my poor attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
