Thank you all for the nicest comments.
Shelby 427 was right about how I prepared the carbon surface. I think I read about this trick somewhere on this forum. So, I first had a semi-black base coat before wrapping the body with woman tights. I stretched the tights until the size of mesh/sieve was about right. I then spray a light coat of a cocktail of silver and semi-black (I also added a hint of gold) over the tights. Small parts such as size mirrors were painted separately.
This technique is faster than decal, however, it is not perfect. It took me a few tries to figure out how much of the silver coat I needed to spray. Also, some corners and areas were trickier to cover with tights. As a result, the pattern is less consistent than decal.
@voyageur: You have a pair of sharp eyes! I thought I could get away with panel lines since the body is already in black.
