Question Carbon Fiber Replication..."How To..."

Hi Guys,

Can someone give a "How to..." on Carbon Fiber Replication. I have been to the Tamiya Web page and searched everywhere on the net but I just cannot seem to find a good detailed description of how to do it. The Tamiya web page only shows how to do it on one side of the part. What if the part is comlpex and neds it on hard to get areas???

Please help...

Thanks

-Headlight

I've read the Tamiya information as well...

It looks like a bit of trial and error is called for, though you might consider just how visible the nooks and crannies of a part are before you kill yourself trying to paint them.

just buy some carbon fibre decal and some microsol, cut the decal to shape, then apply, after a few mins add the microsol to make it conform to the surface
