Right, im after any eye witness accounts of carbon wrap having been lacquered.
I have a couple if cheeky plans but carbon wrap does not at all look like carbon imho. its a personal thing and i recognise that not eveyone has my view of carbon wrap but i just dont think it looks right. there is no 3d definition, no angle of visual absorption and no engagement. it just loks like a textured sticker
But. i have heard that if you lacquer it you can get a much better effect. a much more 'real' look.
is this correct? its subjective but what do you think?

I would use the 3M di noc stuff as its got a 'real' pattern.
Or the Pro wrapping company would be

If you warmed the area you want painted with a lamp for a while before you spray it would coat nicely and get into all the bleeds i would have thought . a couple of decent coats then a few hours with 2000g paper and then a good 4 stage polish is what im thinking. the boot and some other bits im not sure i trust the security of a real carbon boot
