3sjr Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I went for my full interior including door handles, pulls, centre console etc. I choose a black base with gold carbon overlay and a gold candy to be a bit different. What ya think ? Chuffed with the results and would recommend to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drysd4le Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I was thinking about this as well, if you don't mind me asking, how much was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thats stunning mate! Really really like that compared to the usual carbon fibre! 10/10 for creativity and styling imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That truely is awesome and I like it more than words, OP come back and let us know the answers to our questions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Looks awesome mate. Dipping really is the way go, so much better than carbon wrap. Been meaning to do my interior panels for a while but keep getting sidetracked. You can do it yourself for not huge amounts of money. the misses' Evo has a dipped bonnet, spoiler, interior, wheels....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thats the best carbon dip i've seen yet So let me get this straight. Sanded it down and sprayed black? Just flat black or gloss black? Then dipped in gold carbon rather than the more usual white one? Then dipped again in gold candy? I assume the gold candy in 95% clear with just sparkles/flakes? Really looks great mate, might steal this idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Looks amazing! Can they do red carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Looks lush. Like that gold colour as well. Where did u get this done? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3sjr Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks guy I was a bit dubious about the gold weave but wanted something a bit different and apparently the first person in the uk to have this done according to the business that did it. Process was : sand down (apparently 350z has a soft touch plastic which is horrible) you need to do this about 3 times laying a coat of primer between. Then I had it sprayed a base coat of gloss black, this needs to be rubbed down again then dipped in a gold print carbon (usually like a grey) this then gets rubbed down again because it gets crap in during the dip. Then finally a coat of candy lacquer then a straight lacquer over the top. I didn't believe he would do all this work but I was there and fair play to the guy it took a long time. As for the big question of price we had a pretty damn good deal. Basically me a buddies mustang, my dads gtr and his mates jag all had bits done so we had it cheap that way and then also I'm doing a shoot for his website so knocked off a few more for that so I can't say how much I paid But the company is Aquagraphix.co.uk he takes postage items if your far away. Mention my name (Sam) if you want anything done as you get a discount that way also. I believe just your interior done would be in the £300 ball park completely custom with thousands of prints and then any colour/ candy option.

spursmaddave Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sounds about right, I got my Jag bits done by a similar company in Exeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Looks the nuts mate. This carbon business is definitely contagious, I wasn't a fan but I keep seeing very nice examples on here which really lift the, not awesome, Zed plastics. Given the time it must have taken, seems a very fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That doesn't sound like a bad price for all the internal plastics like you've had. Would be interesting to see what other colours and options they have. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
