Anyone used Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap?

3M NiDoc in particular?

Think I've got a better chance of wrapping the tail section than taking the time to prep and paint it

Bit difficult around corners. Comes off around there after a year or so.

Leave plenty of over hang to tuck in and stick well to the insides. Looks cool though.
It is time to rev your hearts!

:D I would not use that product, there are many other brands and types, even from 3M. 1080 springs to mind.
I wrap cars bikes and boats for a living, so have a bit of a clue, I would go for Avery supreme wrapping film, for ease of use and longevity, then maybe Arlon wrap film. just remember too much stretch with too much heat will smooth out the carbon pattern.
good luck :D

Just looking on the web.
Graphic Art Mart are 4km down the road from me in North Rocks.
They sell Both the Avery and Arlon products .

Might send them an email or just pop in

Thanks for that

Any particular product range that would be better suited?

any film that would be recommended for car/vehicle wrapping would do the trick, but Avery ''supreme wrapping film'' would be the my choice :D
