Default carbon fiber solution

heres a cool trick for ppl. Do make a carbon fiber look on whatever paint the part with a base coat of black. When dry lay one of those kitchen drawer foamy mats used to keep utensils from sliding around. They come in 12x12 squares and are about 1/8 thick. Get the one that has little squares, this is your new template. Lay it over the black and spray some silver LIGHTLY Mist it on. Remove and now you have black and silver checkerboard that looks like CF. Clear over it and done.

We are doing this to our painters avenger today, if workload allows. It looks just like the real thing
