The recent thread about car colours got me thinking - I've always fancied a carbon fibre bonnet, as I love the look of c/f weave, but think that black is too much contrast on a red car and would spoil the overall look...

 

However, the link to NZ orange zed said something about a coloured internal c/f kit and I've done a quick surf and found this:

It's a red coloured c/f tank protector for a Ducatti, so it seems it can be done... I think it looks quite classy, as it goes...

 

Does anyone on here know much about c/f and producing coloured c/f goods? I remember there used to be a few c/f gurus on here - Jaylox springs to mind... Anyone have any idea?

 

Just a thought...

Actually, just found this:

Not so sure now... LOL.

All carbon fiber should be coloured. With the same colour paint as the rest of the car.

I cant remember what car it was, Im sure somebody will know, but I remember seeing a production car with carbon fibre doors that were painted body colour but with thinner coats so you could still make out the weave in the CF. :cool:

An F40 is made of carbon fibre panels and you can see the weave through the paint as they've only sprayed it thin to save weight.

Cool, thanks for the answers - however, I'm talking about colour impregnated into the weave itself, as in the c/f in the link... but the thin coats of paint could be another way of doing it - would like to see the piccies if anyone can remember :D
