Carbon Wrap Trim

[RSS]

Did my first attempt at wrapping some of my trim worked out pretty good.

My advice is don't spray the adhisive onto the fabric even if it says so on the can as it gives it a bumpy look as some of the material absorbs the glue and some doesn't. Look at the two pieces in the one photo you can see some ripples in the bottom piece from it.

Took me two three try's to get it down pat but it wasn't to tough other than round corners.

I started mine this weekend, not all that tough to do, I was surprised by the results. I am going to look for a compatable resin to make it a more permanent mod

Re: Carbon Wrap Trim

I was thinking a clear coat maybe over top but i don't know how much the material will absorb?

Re: Carbon Wrap Trim

I might try it on a piece as i have two sets of trim just to see how it looks. I am not sure how the actual fabric will hold up to wear and tear i can see my wife accidently nicking it with a key or something and destroying it.

Re: Carbon Wrap Trim

I just let the top dry a bit and then stretched a little around the corners but i might try the heat gun now that you mentioned it.

Re: Carbon Wrap Trim

Do not spray clear coat on top!!!
The fabric should be able to hold up against scuffs and is also stain resistant.
I've seen a few pieces clear coated and it looks awful.
The unique feature about this fabric is the texture so I would leave it as is.
