Carbon fibre and plasti dip.

Postby Novice1 » Fri May 10, 2013 5:31 pm

Looking at a carbon fibre hardtop for my Na.

Has any one any experience with plasti dipping carbon fibre.

Plasti dip is to hide the ? illegal carbon fibre hard top.

Any info appreciated

Plastidip doesn't care what you put it on, works on just about anything!

But if you paint over the carbon fibre, won't you loose all the KW's you would gain from having cf? :P :lol:

Why would a CF hardtop be illegal?

Half the stuff that gets done to our cars could be classified as illegal if you look hard enough
With two laps to go then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is.

That only applys to some panels. Ones that are going to take an impact or that a pedestrian might land on.

I only had a skim read but could not see anything in the NCOP covering after market hard tops for convertibles.
