Look at 3M carbon fiber Di-Noc. Type that into google it will pop right up. Its a cool vinyl that is really thick and you just form it with a heat gun. There is a ton of videos on how it works.

I've ordered and used stuff form cfwrap.com

No service to speak of, but the products are solid.

Are you looking for a self-stick application like a film or printing as suggested above - or was the question overlaying real carbon onto your parts ?

No real 'kits' out there - but you can easily use 2 x 2 carbon twill and some clear laminating resin to cover anything.

Properly abrade and clean the surface - laminate the carbon - after it cures - finish sand and spray on a few coats of clear.

Here’s a place in Indy where I buy as a sample for ya. You can check prices and see if it fits what you planned to spend.

www.avtcomposites.com

Good luck !

Jim
