    Used the stuff that Dorotape supply and it looks like the real thing. It’s a cast vinyl so is about £16 per mtr at 1220 wide. If you phone them they will send you an A4 sample.

    Cheers

    coburn do one, but it’s more like a metalised film on the underside, not cast, it’s in their specialties range with rainbow and chrome, very similar to use to the rainbow. its a 5yr film.

    i buy it from sign trade supplies, but it’s not that cheap.

    cheers.

    Anyone know who does a good 1220 cast carbon fibre effect?

    Been asked to wrap a bonnet in it. Dorotape only do 610 and Hexis 760.

    Hi,
    Dorotape do have 1220 wide carbon fibre but you have to ask for it, it isn’t in there catalogue. The code is 6710D and is a 5 year vinyl. I have wrapped a few bonnets with this stuff. There number is 0845 165 1636.

    Cheers
    Ewan.
