Dave Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 for those who are interested heres the process.this took me about an hour and half ,take your time and plan your moves before you stick it. pic 1 and two are in the wrong order pic 1 tools needed pic 2 rub down panel and de grease pic 3 lay out your carbon pic 4 use brush [1/4 inch] to put glue on panel do it in stages, pull the carbon slightly keeping the pattern straight. pic 5 trim off the excess and stick the carbon round the edges pic 6 using the scalpel cut all the holes glue the back and stick them down one at a time pic 7 the finished panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
