Di-Noc carbon fiber by 3M

["Deposit Please"]

I was thinking about making a small purchase on this particular carbon fiber vinyl, so i can play around with it & see how it conforms to curves, etc.. My intentions are to wrap just the hood of my car with this carbon, just not sure if this material is a good choice. Has anyone used this di-noc carbon by 3M. Does it look & feel real?? Whats your take with wrapping a car hood using this stuff? Does it conform to simple curves?? This new di-noc carbon by 3m is buzzing all over the internet. Thanks

I've used it on some small motorcycle parts and a couple of laptops.
Looks and feels as real as I would imagine vinyl can get.

Yes, it conforms (esp. with the aid of a heat gun)

IDS has 8X10 samples if you want to see it for yourself.

One of our staff just had it installed on his hood, no problem. I've also seen it wrapped around the wing mirror of a Caravan; it seems to be comparable to cast vinyl as far as comformability goes.

It's pretty cool stuff. I have a small sample here in my shop. Me and a couple people from my shop went the ND Grpahics last week to learn about wrapping and the day after we were there, they actually did that very thing to the CEO's car. I didn't get to see the finished product.
Anyhow...I like it a lot. I think it's pretty accurate as for look and feel. And ND Graphics will sell it by the yard here in Canada. Not too shabby a price either. I'm thinking of combining it into the new wrap we're working on for our shop.

It's nice stuff. With primer and some heat it'll do all kinds of turns. I've got a big ole chunk of it to do interior bits on some family cars soon.

I did a roof on a 240sx and it looked great!

What cool about it is it hardens like plastic more than vinyl. Got 2 cars yesterday that were done up quite a bit about a month ago. Crummy install and they want to do them over.
