Well I'm so confused :? I'm swaying towards hydro dipping in carbon fibre but I'm so unsure lol

In my opinion there's nothing worse than fake carbon fibre. Even if you're not trying to pretend they're CF, it looks like you are and it never looks as good as the real think anyway.

didn't Rob say that the Hydro sheets they use are transparent and show through the paint colour behind?

so spray them red first and then dip and have red/black carbon fibre look :D
