Paint or Carbon Wrap
I need to get my rear seat fairings painted but am struggling to find anybody to take them on locally ( not a big enough job for the bodyshops I've tried so far) so I am toying with the idea of carbon wrapping them instead , has anybody tried this stuff on awkward shapes as this looks like it could be a bit of a pig to do but Im not quite sure if the look would go though

Re: Paint or Carbon Wrap
Not sure of the carbon wrap but have you thought about getting it wrapped in a standard colour if it can be done, there was someone on pbmagforum doing this and the results looked pretty good

Re: Paint or Carbon Wrap
Im not exactly local but if you can get them to me i'll paint em.
I gota admit im not a fan of carbon wrap, to me the whole point of carbon is for its light weight and high strengh, cant really see the point of covering stuff in look-a-like carbon, its a bit like having fake carbon levers
