Default How to paint a carbon fibre hood????

I've came across a link that shows how to paint a carbon fiber hood, for some reason I can't seem to find it.

It would be much appreciated if someone has it booked marked, post it up for me.

Thanks

I use the rubber shelf liner that has the holes in it. Put it in the body like a mask, spray the grey/silver/whatever color you want it to be, then spray the black. With a bit of practice it looks pretty good.

Spray the hood gray, then put on some kind of fishnet stuff (my mind is drawing a blank so I can't think of the name), it is the perfect size for RC stuff, you can buy it at any hardware store and is used to put under sheds and stuff to keep animals out. Then once that is taped on, spray over w/ black
