now same goes for black.. there is soo much variety of differet shades of black colour to choose from.. perhaps someone knows a black which would look best as a CF bonnet lookalike.. and would suggest that colour code..
whats so hard to understand about dat .....

dont worry just a stupid joke only myself got.
hey, if u really want it to be carbon fibre and your serious about it, you can pm me, we can make real carbon fibre onto it customly,
like the way they make real cf they start off with fibre glass like the lip you would ov bought. then they add a cf layer on top etc etc
and btw.. there is no such thing as carbon fibre paint.
"the real" carbon fibre u speak of isnt propper. Propper carbon fiber products are made from pure carbon fibers. Companys making cheap products usually make them from fiberglass and do a single layer of carbon over the top, to cut costs, and fool people into thinking there actually buying a product made of carbon fiber:thumbdwn: , these products are mostly only for looks. While they may use real carbon fibre, its hardly "real carbon fibre".Quote:

go have a look at real carbon bonnets u will see the inside is fibre glass
I doubt it, I'm an F1 nut and they sure as hell dont have fibre glass in between their CF body work...Quote:

You don't understand what you just posted. :thumbdwn:Quote:

1) Crushable metal (aluminium or thin sheet steel)
2) Fracturing fibreglass (CF bonnets are fibreglass with 1 sheet of CF for looks)
3) Fracturing glass (this is why there are no glass bonnets)

They are made this way for looks (to fool people into thinking the product is pure carbon fiber), and to make the part cheaper to produce, not saying its cheap.
There are for types of carbon fiber used in profesional race cars & what not, polyester carbon composite (PCC), Carbon honeycomb composite (CHC, super expensive stuff seen in F1 cars), Dry carbon composite (DCC), and Pressed polyester carbon composite (PPCC). None of these types of carbon fibre contain fiberglass what so ever.
The "real" carbon fibre products i speek of are most often constructed of polyester carbon composite, which is carbon fibres stacked ontop of eack other to reinforse the polyester resin.
Fibreglass products, with a coating of carbon fibre for looks, are most certainly not carbon fibre products.
All i know about it, is there is a company out there that does look alike carbon fiber coatings, that apparently looks very convincing.Quote:
