Painting Carbon Fiber is one of the easier techniques to master. You will need to get yourself some toolbox liner. It's like a perferated rubberized matt material that is used to line tool boxes. Sort of a rectangle type pattern..

You will lay out the liner on the inside of the body where you want the CF. Make sure it is completely flat to the lexan. 2 Quick mists of Silver paint over the toolbox liner. That is all you need, dont use too much or you will ruin the effect. Remove the liner carefully & let the silver dry. Simply back it with Black, and you will have a CF effect. Hope that helps ya out...

The technique above works great.
In the future, please don't type in all capital letters.
Doing that on a forum suggests that your yelling at us.
Thanks
