I think it looks brilliant. I want to do the stereo surround and the AC panel on mine in some sort of carbon effect...

Wow that looks really good

when can I send you my pieces

the colour difference is a lot more noticeable in this pic, when I get more time I will try some different base coat and try for a better match.

Needs a touch more red in it to bring the colour up

Looks great

: Agree with the above comments, needs to be a better colour match if you wanted to sell them out.

I've been looking up hydro graphics for a while.

What sort of result would you see with lighter colours on a black surface though? i.e. Rhodium

Very nice, I like that. I keep thinking a walnut dash might suit the ZT. But then I think I'd want some red alcantara seats to go with it and then perhaps some of the chrome surrounds for the dashboard vents and then maybe some different colour LEDS for the center console and IPK and then....

yes I agree needs more red/orange, will mix some different shades up on a test piece when I get time and try to match it that way.

Almost on the money though and the finish looks fantastic. Are you taking orders?

My idle hands tend to ruin things, as you can see

but that looks fantastic, great work
