I did the spokes on my RX8 s with chrome paint, and they come out good. You need a gloss black underneath to give it nice reflection. Using different colours gives different effects.
Do what you like.Like what you do.

Was just thinking of small internal parts like air vents, and various surrounds inside the vehicle.

One for the print lovers.
Nice coat of Lacquer looks nice and stong
Different Skull design
Checks, you can choose different base coats to give different effects, like pink to give black pink
Carbon with the Lacquer on sweet.
The Flames with Lacquer love it.
I keep getting asked how strong it is,
with three coats of Lacquer it would be just as strong and the paint work on ya car.

Re: Dipping has begun
This will appeal to a lot on here,
Anthracite base coat before the dip
Full carbon weave with couple of coats of lacquer
Look at the detail in the weave. its so realistic
Justine's Juke needed a revamp. we removed her White wing mirror covers and we matched the interior bits in Metalic Magnetic Red base coat
Then we dipped in a see through full carbon weave.
The small dot is a reflection of the ceiling light not a blemish
Few coats of lacquer and its like glass
Back on the car looking sweet

Re: Dipping has begun
That looks really smart. As a rough guide, what might it cost to have a pair of small mirror covers (mk4 Golf) done with carbon over a black base coat?
