It looks good, my guess is he used the method of spraying the base silver and then laying the tool box liner on top of it, thus creating a cf weave look. Its on youtube how to do it. But anyways kudos to you my friend.

That method wil not create the diagonal weave appearance. It is most likely the method I suggested in a previous post. The product/results looks amazing.
