As i was browsing around the google trying to find pics of vinyl wrapped st3rs, i came across this video. The music is annoying as shit but i've never seen the process of carbon wrapping parts. Very cool!
I ended up watching almost all nine minutes of that, to my surprise. That's way cool! I had no idea carbon wrapping was done with a liquid-ish dip process:thumbup::cool2:

+1, this is a quick and easy way to wrap parts. I wrapped the plastic panel under the tail on my old Street Triple R with the 3m 1080. Also wrapped a gas tank on a dirt bike, but as expected it did not last long.
Yea, the weave typically shows up warped and stretched at corners and edges due to the nature of water. Not so good for geometric/uniform designs, camo shows up fine which is why hunters/fisherman like hydrodipping. You also can't exactly dip an entire car.
The only downside to dinoc and 1080 is that it shows up as bare carbon. No real carbon is left bare, it will always be coated in resin. So if you want it to look authentic, you'll have to clear coat it until it's smooth (it's textured to show dimension and realism).
Well there are a ton of ancient threads on here. I didn't bother to look at the date.
