Good Carbon Fiber Decals?
Does anyone know who makes a better carbon fiber decal sheet? I used Detail masters and there stuff is way to thin and I kept tearing it and when I did get it right there were stretch marks. Is SAS any good?

All the ones I use as listed in the tutorial I wrote have given me VERY satisfactory results.
SAS is very good C/F decal, a nice thickness and conforms very well, I used it extensively on my 2002 Impreza WRC along with Renaissance C/F decal.

Scale motor sports has great Carbon Fiber. He just sent me some new sheets and they all work well. Nice and thin, so it forms well. They also have a new blue metallic color that is hot.

When you say its thin, does it tear easy or cause stretch marks, cuz detail master's suck.

Scale Motorsports CF is the best, it conforms well and when you hit it with a hair drier it 'heatshrinks' onto the part, fantastic, It's all I use.
They also do templated sets that have all the parts ready cut for certain kits, I've used one on my Toyota GT-One and the fit is incredible. Once you use them you'll never change!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Good Carbon Fiber Decals?
I get the twill weave black/pewter and the Carbon kevlar black/amber plain weave, you can pretty much do everything with these.
That said, the new plain weave looks pretty good, I suppose it depends on what your covering, I'd use twill weave for structural parts and plain for decorative/ancillary parts on an F1 car for example.
