Thinking of changing the colour of my bonet
To either black or carbon fibre look.
Who can do it
What sort of price
DIY option
OR
Is it better/easier/cheaper to paint it black?
Comments and suggestions welcome

its cheaper to carbon wrap it than it is to paint it. Did it on the rx7 a few years ago, came out pretty sweet, most people that see it in the flesh think it is proper carbon.

Far easier to wrap and cheaper. You can get 3D carbon or 4D carbon now which looks more like carbon with a clear over it. Plus if you don't like it you can remove it.

Anyone tried Plasi-dip rather than wrap?

Im going to plastidip my TE37's in a week or two lololol

Heads up on the PlastiDip.

If you dont put it on thick enough (which I didnt) It will not just peel off like it does in vidoes. You end up either tearing off a few mm at a time, spraying more over the top to make it thicker, or spraying WD40 on it and scrubing it off. I spent many a hour trying to get plastidip off my wheels.
