I was wondering if anyone knows this anyone in the UK that can do this? Or even better in Scotland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNv9O1wRiKs

There are thousands of videos on Youtube but I haven't ever heard of anyone doing it.

Any help appreciated.

That's really clever, although I'd use it for printing weird patterns on stuff.

A quick Google gives quite a few UK companies, I'm sure one of them can help. smile

Looks very impressive. If this is cheap enough it has the potential to spawn the next generation of daft looking accessories for cars. Can picture it now - weird floral patterns on the wheels to match the pink teddy-bear vinyl wrap on a Corsa driven by a young female blonde.

It looks terrible and extremely cheesy.

If you want carbon fibre, buy carbon fibre.

The "carbon fibre" effect always looks cheap as fk IMO, the other patterns not so much as you know what it is, but the carbon fibre one is one rung under the 3M stuff. If you want something to look like carbon fibre but can't get it made in carbon fibre, the best solution is using epoxy resin and carbon fibre fabric and st loads of paitence and sanding and polishing.
