I had mine also painted cf look. But the painter used a fish net with holes around 10x bigger than that of a mosquito net. The painter soaked the net on a thinner so that it would easily peel off after painting and not get smudges.
You guys got the basic ideas but real CF have the 3D effects...Steps:
1. Spray Black for the Base(Undercoat)
2. Stensil: Anti Slip Mat. any other suggestions?
3. then silver or gold is nicer on the top?
4. Thin layer of black
5. Finish it off with 1 or 2 layers of clear coat.
