Please note the carbon fibre must be made over a solid graphite coloured object so either colour your whole car or your bonnet this METALLIC colour

Or if your car is a different colour cover and you want to cover a random area that isnt the bonnet you want place a vinyl of this colour underneath.

Note if doing a small area and applying a vinyl below the results wont look quite so good, but still good!

Step 1

Paint the car the special color that pearlesces from black to white.  It is about 3/4ths the way down in the special colors section.

Step 2

Apply Vinyl Shape - Stripes - Stripe 17

Make it a light gray (bottom right hand corner of color wheel)

Resize it to

X - 0.21
y - 36.61 or more, not less (make sure this stretchs over the widest point of the area)
Spin - 28.00

Copy this layer and duplicate, align it up exactly parallel. You made need to overlap it just slightly to make it look continuous. Once you have about 3 lined up you can copy those 3 layers and line them up etc, until you have covered the whole area.

Step 3

Apply Vinyl Shape - Stripes - Stripe 17

Make it jet black

Resize it to

X - 0.15
y - 36.61 or more, not less (make sure this stretchs over the widest point of the area)
Spin - 334.73

Again start duplicating and lining up

When you have covered your area, tidy up any edges and voila, you have carbon fibre

Step 4

Apply a white square over the entire area and set transparency to .10
