well after school ends in May i am going to have a complete make over on my car. i already have the exterior planned, now its time for the interior and i have some questions.......i know they make green, blue, red , yellow carbon fiber but.....is there a way to make white? or how about...... i paint over cf with a pearl white in light coats so the weave would show through, what do ya'll think about that?, does anybody have pics of painted cf with the weave showing through? im just throwing some idea around so lmk your opinions and suggestions thanks d

lol it looks like ass trust me. It resembles bolting on a wicker chair when its painted. I tinted the gel coat a few different ways and didn't like the results at all.But I got tips on how to make the colored cf stand out great plain and just the way it was made.I'm redoing a black cf hood in green strating this weekend so look for pics next week. Check my thread green cf or something like that to see the old stuff.

you can't paint over it with a pearl, buuuut you can paint over it with one of the parts of a candy paint. Import Tuner featured a 240 (the cover said BETTER THEN SEX I think) with a black carbon fiber hood with a candy apple red clearcoat, it looked great. if you can find a candy white (Which I am sure does not exist) you could do it.. but otherwise probably not a great idea. my advice for your exterior makeover: ditch the basket handle spoiler.

hmm well your right BumpinTalon , i cant find candy white anywhere. hey madhatter..... im curious, mabey a lil stupid hehe, but what if you painted the cloth white before you laminated it??? howd that look? and it would still bring out the 3d affect right?.........lol sorry if that was a stupid question :P edit: im keeping the turbo spoiler :)

not stupid at all because I painted mine green in hopes of getting that same look. but it turned out looking like painted wicker. I will take a pick and show you what I mean on one of the many failed attempts on what I was looking for lol.

It's called silver carbon fiber. I first saw it on a silver mercedes hood at Nopi Nationals. Just google "silver carbon fiber"
