DIY - cf texture spray job

[mykecmf]

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.

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.

You guys got the basic ideas but real CF have the 3D effects...

So i suggest the following steps....

1. Spray Black for the Base(Undercoat) Flat black
2. Clear coat 2-3 layers glossy thick
2. Stensil: Anti Slip Mat or mesh
3. then bronze metallic is on the top
4. Thin layer of black
5. Finish it off with 2-3 layers of clear coat
The additional steps will make the bronze metallic like floating thus achieving the 2.5D look.

P/s: spray some "temporary spray glue" on nonslip mat, so that any curve/uneven areas will less gap... (can get from stationary shop or art and craft)... when spray on paper the glue becomes like
"post it" note glue...
