i'm want to teach myself something new next week so i'm going start my interior carbon wrap project, i've got a decent heat gun and i've being told to use a scalpel but unsure of the quality of tool required.

i've also being flicking through ebay looking for material and i'm unsure which one to buy as i have not got a clue which is quality or not

anybody who knows what they are doing i would be grateful for some inside info

What parts of interior you want to do ?

What parts of interior you want to do ?

 

i've got a spare gearstick surround to practice on at first but i imagine i'l be doing the centre console and the door switches then working my way into the boot for the rear panels and speaker sections, i want the rest to be black leather, ie door cards, glovebox, under steering wheel panel and panels that go behind the front seats on a slicktop

Any carbon wrap will do. 3m stuff is more expensive but does the same job. It might last longer. Wraping plastic will last. Door cards not. You might need some special primer like pva. Some stuff i have done

 

 

 

looks the part i'm not thinking of doing the door card just a few interior bits but you never know i might go carbon mad and do the lot if i like my results.

which scalpel did you use

Just get the cheapest wrap and practise. You can always peel it off

Stanley blade will be ok :) for door cards i would use carbon vinyl
