3MCA-1170 DI-NOC GLOSS BLACK CARBON FIBER 2ft x 1 ft (2 sq/ft) Flex Vinyl Wrap Film

Excellent quality. Used on a set of motorcycle hard bags. Bought 3M brand as recommended by the professional installer.

I can't comment on the quality of other CF wraps, because I went with theDi-Noc from the start. I planned to wrap the hood of my snowmobile, but it was just too complex and large to pull it off without some major wrinkles. Too bad, because it would have looked awesome. Instead, I wrapped my side vents and bumper. It looks very good. Even though the product description says gloss black, the finish is slightly matte. You will need a heat gun and 3M primer to hold the film in recesses and openings. Don't go crazy with the heat. As soon as the vinyl seems to soften in the heat, start working it down, and don't use heat unless it's really necessary. There are several YouTube videos on how to apply the film. Be patient and take your time. If you lack patience, or have a complicated part, have someone do it for you, or you will get frustrated. Here's a picture of one of the vents. It took about an hour to do.

I bought the 4x5 ' for 119 for my roof on my Honda I did it alone and there Inlies my first fault . I had a hard time doing this alone for sure and I've never installed wrap before sooooo But my character flaw is watching people do it so simply on TikTok and thinking I could as well First off is this 3m or vivid lol Labels on wrap have both names Felt kinda cheap but looked amazing I could feel the weave of carbon but no gloss on top Looks good still . It was very very stiff and did not want to work with. I also took the easy route and sprayed soap water all over the roof first If I hadn't I feel like once it stuck it would never have let go again It cracked twice which ruined it unfortunately and I had 0 extra sooo bummer If I had another person and maybe I was supposed to heat it a little before playing it I could t glass it out since it was too stiff Then the corners were starting to like bunch up towards the end and it progressively started to come out like poop . Wouldn't be surprised to see this quality on someone's in public tho I'm just too anal for that anyway that was my experience I'll rate 5 stars since I'm not smart enough to know if this was good quality or not

Ordered the 48"x60" twill weave carbon fiber sheet to do a headliner and the interior A-pillars. You need a smooth NON POROUS surface for this stuff, i had to seal my headliner board before application. The stuff is sticky, but gets even better with some heat. Speaking of heat, if your surface has compound curvers....you're gonna need it. I'm not talking about using a hairdryer, which might work but its not temp controlled. Get a set able heat gun!! I was usually in the 250-420° heat ranges. The stuff is pliable with patience and heat, just remember to go back over the whole item with some more heat while pressing down on the material to get a good bond. This is not my first, or probably my last time using this carbon fiber material. Experience helps a great deal, as with any material thats gonna need heat to form it. Great results can be had! Or let a professional do your install if you're new to this kind of work. My pics are real and so am I !!! Iam very pleased with this product, and everyone i show it to thinks it looks awesome!

This is a great product. It's thicker than the 3M 1080 vinyl. This is my first time ever wrapping something in vinyl, I was really surprised at how it forms to interior trim. I used a heat gun to form the material around edges and found that when it cools, it hardens in place. I used denatured alcohol for cleaning and a PVC primer on the edges, it has most of the same ingredients as the 3M primer but also has acetone so if you ever plan on removing the vinyl make sure you don't get it on the good surface, just the the back side. I recommend using the 3M primer because it's formulated for their specific adhesive. I also warmed the vinyl up after unrolling it, this makes it easier to handle. Prep is a must with any vinyl. Make sure your parts a super clean and the area you're working in is grease and oil free.

Considering gloss is the first word in the description I was very disappointed in the look of this vinyl. I didn't expect it to magically look like real CF but it looks like a sticker, very flat. Gonna have to find something else because this won't change the sea of dull black and grey in my car's interior. No shine at all. Fairly easy to work with though. Just time consuming.Edit: Auto Vinyl Solutions/Ikonwraps is who I purchased this from. These people are the problem. They only carry the ca 421 di noc, and ship this in place of the ca 1170 gloss di noc. I contacted them saying I thought the wrong version was shipped to me and they just told me I was confused. When I called the phone number on the tube I was told that they haven't carried the gloss version for a while. These people are shady online. They blamed the mistakes on Metro Restyling for putting up product pictures. ??? The guy I talked to on the phone was very honest and helpful. Maybe the gloss version is glossy. I'll have to order some to find out. I thought I already had. I'll update if the gloss is glossy. The 421 looks like and feels like a hologram card where the image shifts from different viewing perspectives.Update 2I decided to order the 1080 scotchprint instead. It's much easier to work with than the di noc but is also more delicate. If you want the glossy carbon fiber look get the scotchprint instead. Something else to consider is that the texture is much smoother on the scotchprint which will be much easier to clean. All those little grooves in the di noc pattern will collect dirt and oil. I don't see why anybody would use di noc in their car now that 3m has a better option. It looks better, is easier to work with and will clean much easier.
