Stu what is carbon air brushing? never heard of that, I know what airbrushing is (had that on my Savage late 70's) just not carbon type can you elaborate? Do McLaren do sub work then?

Do MAcLaren do sub work then? The guy who is painting my car went on a 3 day course,for house of colour paint,there was a guy there that worked for Mclaren,as i wanted my rear spoiler in carbon,they got talking about my car,he said he does a paint effect that looks like carbon,sent me a sample in the post,it looks like the real thing,and can be done in different shades.
