Last week I stripped out some parts from the MX-5 and took them with me to work and while I was in the hotel at night I carbon wrapped them.
I just used the hotel hairdryer, and a craft knife with a little patience. The results are pretty good imho. I sanded all the components with some P1600 wet and dry first to give the film something to key into to as the dash had been cleaned / dressed with silocone based cleaner in the past.
This week I am doing the vent surrounds and some other bit's and pieces.
Pics taken with the mobile phone so not to good, sorry.

Help











Looks good Tony
With the offcut's I did the Prius key and my external hard disk
Lookin good there Tony, the octy dash should be a doddle next to that as it's just square cut-outs for the most part innit. I'll rip the bits out sometime over the next few days hopefully.

No worries Neilo, just drop it round and I will do it for you mate. Fancy looking after the KTM for me for 3 weeks while I am away on holiday?
When you mention using the hotel hairdryer, why do I get visions of an Alan Partridge sketch with a Corby trouser press?!
