Get that CF look for your RC Car or Truck. Practice on scrap lexan if you are not comfortable to do on a body.
-
1. Tape off area to be CF’d
-
2. Paint body
-
3. Remove masking tape, *NOTE* you have the choice to spray tint on the INSIDE at this point. I spray outside because it helps me judge how much tint I need and I can clean it off with alcohol if it’s too dark.
-
4. Apply carpet tape in diagonal pattern or straight pattern
-
5. Remove protective film on area to be tinted (outside)
-
6. Spray lightly
-
7. Remove backing on carpet tape
-
8. Spray carpet tape with black or gold *Note* you can spray the back of the carpet tape with any color you choose.
