Now that looks good. Vinyl wrap vs. Dipping - what's best? Or is one better for some things, and the other...? I'd be interested to read about how both processes are done.

That's some funky stuff.  Can see this becoming very popular provided it's not crazy expensive. :)

On the Aquagraphix site, example prices are given. Lots of carbon ones to choose from, but can't tell from pics which one is Devilsyam's close-up example here. But I guess a discussion with them would soon solve that. Mentioned it to a colleague at work, and the interest was instant! Mike, I reckon you're right - this could take off big time! Who'll be the first to go way overboard and have everything done in carbon?  :rolleyes

My mate is just setting up a business doing this stuff. He will be able to do stuff up to 2m long, car bumpers etc. He will be up and running in about 8 weeks. So I might be the one to go over board lol.

There is another company that does dipping, it was on the wheeler dealers programme in March this year.
