Carbon fiber coating is a simple transformation of cars

Carbon fiber coating of a car is a task that is quite feasible for everyone. The main thing is to know the methodology of doing such work and have patience, as the process has to be painstaking. But the time and effort spent will more than pay off in the new look of the vehicle.

There are two ways of applying such a film to the car: dry and wet. In the first case, the performer must be a professional in the field, since the film is applied to the surface of the vehicle once. After that its position will not be corrected any more. Wet gluing by carbon is much easier. And the main advantage of this method is that the position of the film on the car can be adjusted at any time until the surface is dry.

Before you start to work directly to transform the appearance of the car, you should prepare the necessary tools. In their number must necessarily include:

1. Raquel (felt or plastic).
2. Stationery knife, scissors.
3. Marker or felt-tip pen.
4. Building hair dryer.
5. Sprayer with soapy solution.
6. White spirit or its analogue.
7. Napkins without lint.
8. Painting Scotch.

If all the tools and materials are available, then you can start such an amusing business as gluing a car with your own hands car. And the first thing to begin with is washing the car. It is necessary to do this in the most thorough manner. Do not interfere with the polishing of the body.

The next step is to open the canvas. It is best to start with large parts: roofs, hoods, etc. To get a more accurate result, you can apply the film to the body of the car and outline on the film the detail for which the cutting is performed. Then, along the outlined contour, you can cut out the workpiece. It will not be superfluous to check it with attachments.

When the workpiece for embedding the body part is ready, it is necessary to degrease the surface where the film will be fastened. To do this, wipe it with white spirit or other solvent.

So, you made the workpiece and prepared the surface. It would seem that you can start fixing the film. But then it turns out that the dry coating with carbon fiber is carried out. And in this case, you can not correct any possible shortcomings without damaging the material. Therefore, the surface of the part should be drenched with soapy water from the sprayer. The result should be a completely wet body part. Dry places should not be!

Most of the work has already been done. It remains a little - stick a film. If this operation is performed by one person, then it is difficult to do without mounting tape . With it, you should fix a part of the film on the body. This should be done as precisely as possible along the contour of the part to be glued. On the opposite side of the film, it is necessary to separate the protective substrate. Then you should attach it to the body and smooth it with a squeegee. It is also necessary to do with the rest of the decorative coating. When the entire film is placed on the body part, it should be dried. To do this, you need a building hair dryer. It is necessary to simultaneously warm the film with warm air at a temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius and level the surface with a squeegee.

On this the carbonation of the part is over. A similar procedure should be performed for the rest of the car body. Within ten days after this procedure, it is not recommended to wash the car and drive fast. This is necessary to ensure that the film is well dried and does not fall off.

This is how the carbon fiber is applied. Photo of cars after such procedure pleases an eye. They look stunning.
