Finally got around to making some stone guards today, thanks to Steve @Low Rider for using his as a template, got the magnetic sheet (motorway grade of course) and 8d carbon wrap off ebay, stuck them together and cut them out.

And always clean as you go

Here you go mate, the adhesive is very good as is the overall quality, its not the cheapest but hopefully it will stand the test of time.

Thanks Jim, I think the day that I finish it will be the day that I put it up for sale and get another project. I recon it will be done by this time next year, with a very nice interior.

Cheers pal, carbon dipped can have a serious gloss mate, a lot more gloss then the wrap I used.

For proper gloss you need real carbon

No doubt, but where I need it would difficult to dip it I think.

Dipped and lacquered has the same gloss level.
