as long as it's not cracked badly the wood ones pollish up real good, heres the one in my old 535

rotary buffer, wool buff and the same compound you use in the last couple stages of buffing paint

I bought weave and resin to do that to mine, since it was cracked in about 5 places and peeling. I then decided that it would look out of place if I simple did that (and kinda rice, but looks good there) So anybody parting out and has a gear selector like the one above let me know (need the ribbed thing and all)

that wasn't CF - that was stick-on plastic film

I have already install cf trim to my car

How did you cure that CF?

just air dried with epoxy, or did you heat cure it?

Except yours looks very much like a vinyl sticker... there isn't any depth to it

If you want to do it for the reason carbon fibre was developed - strength with little weight - you need to vacuum bag it. My shipwright mate is a whiz with it, but I have little interest in it for either my car or my boat (the boat weighs 25 tons). I have thought about making a cover for the plug leads (3.6 engine) out of it.
