Great as always Zac Smiley

If you like the carbon fibre look are you aware you can buy the woven carbon cloth from most glass fibre supplier? Just use clear resin and your are away

hi Nabsim,did watch a video on utube recently of some one using the carbon fiber cloth with the resin it look great when finished but it reminds me of using the glass fiber matting and resin witch when ever i use it i get it every where messy job, think the carbon cloth is quiet expensive so i believe, i think for the small amount i did on the trike the vinyl wrap was fine and it dose look like the real thing and will probably be better wearing than paint but i think with this kind of thing its probably best not to over do how much you use on a project so as not to make the overall finish look tacky bit like chequer plate iv seen trikes covered in this and i just hate it but a bit is OK

Not having much look finding chrome side panels and mudguard's for the virago,so have decided to have the tank and mudguard powder coated in one of the candy colours and side panels sprayed..... found this company prices seem reasonable to me...... has any one ever used them and are they as good as they sound http://www.triple-s.co.uk/index.htm

i would image it would dobber, but because the side panels are in the center on each side of the trike if it was a slightly diffrent shade i think i could live with that
