Default covering problem please help!!!!!

Im going to cover a great planes ultimate bipe with ultracote's "carbon fiber" print (the black and grey version) and i was wondering what to do about the cowl and wheel pants is there a way to paint this look on to plastic? or is it possible to cover on to the cowl and make it look decent?

I don't see why you couldn't cover the cowl and pants with it. I used it on the bottom of my Hobby Hangar Gee Bee and it looks great. Just make sure not to heat it too much and soften the plastic (if its not fiberglass).

i hear there is a special spray with two colours and a special nozzle, like Epoxy it mixes the two to spray a good CF look with weave onto what ever you spray.
very much like the chequered paint sprays you can buy
