Dude I'm loving the yellow paint on the frame. One piece of advice, upgrade that 5.9! So many people say that its a terrible motor and putting a quality motor on that truck makes it 20x better. can't wait to see it finished though!

Does anyone know the steps in doing a carbon fiber look with black and yellow?

 

[Phins Fan]

The same as using black and silver!!. Youtube the process. Theres plenty of how too's on it. Thats where I learned

 

[tammen72]

I did , question is do you do a transparent yellow then silver and finish with black?

 

[Phins Fan]

If your using transparents I would say back it with silver or white to make the color brighten up. When I've done my CF I've always started with a "ghosting" of black all over the entire area and then applied my mask and light color before doing the black. I'm sure theres other ways but this is whats worked best for me.
