Don I'm looking for a vinyl that has the look of the 3M 1080 gloss black, but with a thick gloss layer over it so that it looks like real carbon fiber trim. I can't seem to find a workable vinyl that has that this varnish looking coat on top like real (non dry) carbon fiber trim. Any suggestions? Trying to wrap a diffuser.
Some more pictures for you guys.

By any chance is this still going on? I find myself in need of a 2x2 sheet of vinyl. Lol, I'm trying to do an odd wrap on a "household item" of mine. Think it might be a bit difficult but we'll see.

Is vinyl wrapping a new trend, or a west coast thing? I've never even heard of it until I started posting here. What's funny is all the customization discussions here and talk about vinly wrapping got into my dreams last night. Dreamt that every vehicle I saw had some cheap/homemade version of vinyl wrapping. Vehicles looked like people took outside picnic table cloths and tried to seal it onto their vehicles by using a regular heat gun. Needless to say it looked awful, with lots of leftover material tucked into windows, etc...
