LoudBimmer Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I want to wrap my engine cover in carbon fiber vinyl. Will it work? or will it dry out and crack or just melt off? I will be using 3M vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I would worry more about the adhesive holding up to those temps under the hood. I would just get it dipped.

Crandis16 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 if you want to it hold up then I would try real carbon fiber wrap if you can afford it. My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudBimmer Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 If it comes off if look at a hydro dip Dipping actually might work better. It will look better and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudBimmer Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Found few places around NJ and PA. Will cost around $70, but I'm guessing will look better and last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdblue Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 no shit? I would've assumed dipping to be more expensive then that.

LoudBimmer Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 It's still more than I want to spend, but it will look much better than wrapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudBimmer Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Got an email back from one of the local companies. They quote to do both panels is $200-250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
