I'm searching for a paint color/code for a "carbon fiber" shade, please post any car painted with a shade closest too CF.

I havent really seen that color much in person.

Thanks

thats because carbon fiber is a weave and not a solid color my friend, and it would be more of a mix of masked layers if it were to be done

**mrmephistopheles** · 02-02-2007, 12:13 AM

Dunno the color code for that.

paint car black or grey, take small wire fence (liek grill on the wack kits ) with small weaving, and hold steady over car and paint with opposite color. Your whole car can be CF style

Ummm yeah i know that.....there is also paint that resembles the shade of grey/brown that makes up the color or processed CF, I'm not going for the 3D affect it has.

try sterling grey metallic. its a bmw color. it doesnt look anything like CF, but its badass anyways.

maybe that graphite color the IS300 came in.

MMM CABRÔN! Haven't had that in some time.

Carbon fiber isn't a solid color.

In light it can change hues.

Stamina · 02-02-2007, 04:44 PM

Wow....hard to get thru to some of you.

I went to a local paint shop and found exactly what i'm looking for.

blackcoupe · 02-02-2007, 05:20 PM

s13silady · 02-02-2007, 05:23 PM

The request was to post the color on a car....so i'm not sure how i answered my own question by going to a paint shop?

Anyhow, the color i found is a bit darker than this, it'll look better with clear over as it is base clear.

vs CF

EndLeSS8 · 02-02-2007, 06:40 PM

Nice.

You found the exact colour for "poop brown"

**ThatGuy** · 02-02-2007, 06:40 PM

Umm, I've seen that color before. It wasn't Cabron Fiber though, it was in a diaper when I saw it. Next time, do your own leg work first, than ask if you can't find anything.

Tenchuu · 02-02-2007, 07:16 PM

congratulations you found "greenish grey" witch is not carbon fiber.

this is carbon fiber.

any questions?

McRussellPants · 02-02-2007, 07:30 PM

I'd ask for pics of what kind of shit pile of a car someone who thinks carbon fiber is a solid color drives, but it would only end in tears.

That is actually a pretty good color, I have a coffee cup with a carbon fiber handle (autoclaved pre-preg, because thats how I roll) and the part where the carbon fabric is not close to the surface (IE more resin) is that color.

KA24DESOneThree · 02-02-2007, 11:40 PM

Why the hell would anyone want their car to look like it was solid carbon fiber unless he was a bonafide, dyed-in-the-wool ricer of epic, Erebuni-sporting proportions?

Lemme guess, you're gonna paint your hood and trunklid.
