CARBON COATING - ANYONE DONE THIS?

Blackal · Jan 7, 2014

I'm thinking about getting a pair of Boxer Cam Covers carbon-fibre coated.

Anyone had this done?

I'm looking at this company: HYDRO-GRAFFIX http://www.hydro-graffix.co.uk/

Anyone used them, or recommend anyone else?

Thanks!

That company did some stuff for the tv show wheeler dealer. It looked ok but it still looks fake which of course it is. It's a lot better than the crappy carbon wrap you get tho if you must.

Durable enough for wheels if you lacquer it after.

It's always lacquered after. The stuff itself is microns thick and very fragile. So basically it's as tough as paint is.

Got a response from them - they say it can be a bit of a challenge due to the fins, and may require two coatings?

Think the all-up cost would be £100.

If the Carbon finish is too difficult - Satin-black might do.

Cheers!
