VOSSEN CV3's - CF

I am redoing a set of Vossen CV3's for a customer. I know how popular these wheels are being a member on this forum and for good reason. I can say dealing with a lot of high end wheel companies these wheels are quality. I figure I would post some pics of the process. First off they where sandblasted and the spokes where powder coated. Secondly the carbon fiber was applied on just the face of spokes. Tomorrow I will post the pics of the black powder which will be applied to the outer lip,the spoke windows and the inner barrel. Once that is done I will shoot the whole wheel with a high gloss clear and post some pics. Let me know what you guys think.

Are you using actual carbon fiber or just hydro dipping it?

CF / Process

Wanted to give an update, the CF was just done and are in the wash station being rinsed. Next step is to spray the black on the inner barrels and lips. Then clear. Let me know what you think.
