I've seen some 3M Di-Noc in the flesh and it looked good, but I'd prefer something glossy/clear-coated.

Who makes the most authentic-looking glossy carbon wrap?

Iirc, this is where I got some a good while back - http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/carbonfibre.asp
The one that I thought was most realistic, isn't as formable as the Di-NOC.
Think it was the RTape one.

The very best vinyl is from 3m but it is very expensive.

£m have recently released a new glossy vinyl which super-cedes the Di noc range & has the shiny looking finish you're after, I was quoted £55 sq mtr.

Hexis also do a shiny cf vinyl for about £40 sq m


I've just done my own car in vinyl I got from ebay, it's not the best but I've never done wrapping before so didn't want to waste a lot of money?, now i'm aware of the pit falls , I may given time do it again using more expensive stuff??.

William Smith who supply Di-Noc do a gloss wrap version in another brand, Di-noc is not a wrap film, ok for flatter surfaces but not a lot of cop to wrap wing mirrors with, if you don't need a full roll message me with what you need and I can quote you, samples available.
