My first attempt at the carbon fibre effect. I used nickle on black and then lightly dusted it with black, but I think a medium gray would have been better than nickle.

There are a couple of good videos on YouTube that walk through the whole process, but basically you paint a base color of black. Then you mask it with a type of skid resistant shelf liner which I don't know what it's called, but they show it clearly in the videos and it is easy to find. You spray over that with silver or gray. Remove the mask and clear coat. The whole thing took about 15 minutes for this small area. |

I think I do like the medium gray a little better, personally. It looks more like the real carbon fiber that I have had. |
