3M Carbon DI-NOC Film

[tekagga]

Has anyone ever used this carbon fiber vinyl? One of my friends with an M3 just got his done and it looks real and has the texture of dry carbon fiber. He had it done by this guy.

More pics on like page 6-8

Maybe on our cars?

What do you guys think?

that stuff does look good, my interior panels would definitely benefit from this.

I have the silver aluminum trim
to match the factory silver. Carbon fiber would look good in the black interior.

Overall this stuff is pretty easy to work with then hit with a little heat, but all those bumps would make it pretty difficult to wrap. It would look neat tho imo.

I know it looks nice thats why i covered my center console in it, BUT most of there pictures are of the material on flat surfaces the rounded pieces on the grill will make it very tough to do it seamlessly

Looks good but how long will it last before its starts unsticking with the sun and heat?

It's not the unsticking you have to worry about. The adhesives they use on vinyl is very good. What usually happens is that the vinyl starts to fade and crack a little bit due to the sun. The life of the vinyl is going to depend on where you live and weather conditions. But down here in GA, I never saw vinyl go the full rated lifespan without some sort of damage. Usually the colors get less vibrant and the vinyl gets less of a sheen, then it will get more brittle and start showing small cracks. Typically on 5-7 year rated vinyl, we'd see maybe 3-4 years on it. I used to own a shop and part of our business was custom vehicle graphics so this is based on my personal experience with it.

Sorry i started a thread and havent responded. But I just finished mine car and it is pretty easy and it came out great. Ill have pictures tomorrow =D

I just did my center console today also, took long and I want to redo it, but maybe in a few months. Stuff is really easy to flex and stretch when you heat it up.. I have more parts that still need to be done.

 

[gto]

looks great.
What other parts are you hitting?
No other pics of install process?

I think this is the same material. I saw it demo'd at SEMA

 

[fxlr8]

I plan on doing most if not all of the brushed aluminum pieces. Looks like the same stuff (by 3M), it looks much better without a flash hitting it.
