DIY Carbon Fiber Dash Board Kit

Just got done doing some dipping with this DIY Dip Kit:

http://www.camodipkit.com

They have some nice black and silver carbon fiber designs that look really cool on a dashboard.... They also have woodgrain, skulls, snakeskin, and camo dip kits....

Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he's just spamming his website...

The parent website is in VA and the OP is in FL. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
His email address is from American Association of Christian Counselors Forest, VA

Guys, this carbon dipping is the real deal, despite this poster's intent here. Head over to Ferrari Chat and have a look at some of the photos. Pretty amazing.

From what I can tell, you fill a large vat with water, immerse the part you want covered, then lay the carbon film atop the water where it floats. You then spray a separator on the film and then lift the part up out of the water and through the film.

Not sure what happens if your don't get it right, though.

I've seen it on American Chopper. They coated a gas tank in $100 bills.

Both the video above and American chopper lay the film on the surface of the water, spray the activator, then lay the part down into the water through the film and pull it out right away. Though I would think laying the part in the water would work to, I obviously have no clue.

And because the OP hasn't made a single other post anywhere on this forum since this topic, I'm calling spammer. Contribute to the forum, or GTFO.
