Carbon Fiber Effect airbrush *Tutorial*

[Commando]

This stuff?

Yeah, that's the stuff. As long as it has a good checkerboard pattern, your good.

This is actually the exact stuff I use. I get it at Wal Mart for a couple of bucks for a 5' roll.

Here it is at the Duck Products Web Page

Hi,

I have a carbon fiber frame bike that I would like to do the same way. Do you know if I need special paints for true carrbon fiber? or would have to handle it differently to make that work? (ie tubes instead of square flat surfaces, etc.) ? Would I need to sand down the frame in a different way oruse different grade paper?

My guess is that if the bike is already showing it's carbon fiber... why paint it with a CF pattern?

If else (ie it's painted a different color), you might be able to just rough the surface with some high-grit sandpaper and then follow the process normally. But that's just my guess. I haven't painted a damn thing in my life.
