[@bond2360]

I've tried this trick, and a little tip for anyone is once you've done the first spray move the rubber mat slightly left or right and up or down slightly and it makes the carbon directional and looks way more realistic. Plus if you as coats of gloss it blends in much better 👍

[@enricotrombini1905]

product does not work as advertised.. did some strategic striping on my car ( 89 honda civic ) plus improved spoiler in the back but it still does 0 to 60 in 20 minutes.

[@99Guns]

hahahahahahahahahaha

[@Cacstern]

You failed to read more into the product. It clearly states "horsepower will only increase if 'Plasti-Dip' sticker is applied"

[@KHeidendal]

Enrico Trombini use some sparkplug powder. It really helps.

[@arthuromendoza949]

For best results push it down a hill

[@miked1355]

may I recommend daily, intense bicep/tricep work until it burns real nice

[@SpeedKosts]

After i dip my car I'm dipping my ps4, Galaxy, the dog..... DIP IT ALL

[@albboy96]

the house, you gotta dip that too

[@antdx316]

albboy96 LOL, good idea and if it was fire retardant too it would make it more of a good reason to do it

[@UnitedPebbles]

Yeah dip it in dip it out---ALL!!!

[@philthyphill8753]

Lol @my dog

[@Plaingun3455]

Great idea ( dipping my chiwawa as we speak)

[@vwfanatic881]

I did this same thing when I was like 15 and painting my nitro rc car bodies that was 10 years ago. Glad to see someones still using this technique. Brings back memories

[@joetenney6252]

"Looks nothing like carbon fiber" *adds gloss* "OMG IM DOING THIS TO EVERYTHING I OWN"

[@elcuhh9852]

Joe Tenney ur a ricer

[@mritititit]

Still doesn’t look like carbon fibre

[@whydoihave6neutrals772]

Jason Romo I like dip when restoring $500 that I run into the ground anyone who insults the quality has never used it

[@russyJ20]

My whole house now looks like carbon fibre, in hindsight should've left 1 or 2 of the windows as they were

[@JCTiggs1]

You just made my day 😊

[@mynameisnotskrillex5879]

That iPad must run much faster now!

[@juandas63]

JAJAJAJAJAJAAJ

[@quantumpeep866]

Why? because dipshit trolling?

[@odidiaz7492]

#dead

[@tuckersaspy]

theres a difference between trolling and being sarcastic

[@odidiaz7492]

+tuckersaspy good job on the painting technique..it's one of those use what you have to make something looking interesting and cool but that comment about running faster was pretty funny 😁

[@RcNerd]

im new to plasti dip but im starting to find it amazing

[@mightbegenius]

when he first whipped out the cupboard foam I was getting ready to laugh but it actually looked good in the end.

[@Dangerwiggles]

Damn it!! I thought that if I sprayed my steel hood with this it would totally turn it into Carbon Fiber.... well shit.

[@gaalen111]

guess you missed the "look" in the title

[@Dangerwiggles]

*cough* sarcasm *cough* because of what he said *cough* obviously it wont *cough*

[@djviciousballz]

kiraanimerawr1 Explain this "sarcasm" thing you speak of. We no understand. :D

[@thestig3163]

Just like painting PVC piping black, would make it just as strong as a steel roll cage.

[@albboy96]

kiraanimerawr1 you gotta check that cough out.... could be a bad cold or even worse an infection ;)

[@itsBlack]

Yes. I plast dipped my old wheels black and drove on them for almost 2 years. They are in storage now as my second set and still black. I used to wash my car once a week at the carwash

[@ethansloss6854]

Looks cool. Nothing like carbon fibre, But cool.

[@alanmoore78]

This is genius. I always thought carbon fiber reminded me of shelf liners. So naturally use the shelf liners to make carbon fiber. Awesome!

[@cdlxxix.479]

Every ricer has got a great idea all of the sudden that this tutorial will make their car at least 75 pounds lighter!

[@redrock861]

75? Dude, you forgot the roof, and the stupid wing. that'll be good for another 50.

[@cdlxxix.479]

redrock861 Good point. Also if they put negative camber, wire wheels, and a fart can, how much would it give them?

[@SrKinekt]

+Nick Armock hahaha weight reduction add plastic lol

[@SrKinekt]

oh man, tell me about it! I bought new windshield wiper for my Denali guaranteed extra 8bhp!! LOL

[@SrKinekt]

All good man, buy a new set of shade, you'll walk faster! :P

[@mtmals9786]

nicely done. I'm doing a 2005 zx3 part vinyl part Plasti Dip. Using your Camo today I won't need to order yet a other expensive roll of military green vinyl. Also lower quarter of the zx3 is carbon fiber sim so your technique in this video is right on. Thanks for a great product and fine graphic medium for us serious and talented mod jockeys.

[@tom_nobreaks6450]

will this fit on my honda?

[@JoseGomez-hs5yb]

what kind of drugs you do son?

[@HotCuppaCoffee]

For very complicated shapes, like interior trim and instrument panels, it should be possible to carefully coat the back-side of the shelf matting, with a gentle, removable adhesive, (available in spray cans from art supply stores,) and apply it like a sticky tape.

[@cornellchelsea2231]

Im seein alot of honda haters here lol. Hondas are by far, the kings of aftermarket. I dont drive mine daily but, i would if i could. I love it

[@BlackLotusW3]

hit it lightly from a slight angle with a dark grey or black, then from the opposite angle with a spritz of white or light grey. this will add shading to the squares, giving them a better appearance of depth. as this project was sprayed, I would spray a light coating of dark grey downward to add shading to the bottom of the squares, and upwards with white or light grey to add highlight to the top of the squares. (the matt has some thickness to it, which blocks/masks those areas a little) (before you do the metalizer layer)

[@migueldelahozrodriguez438]

Hi .Im from Spain and I want to tell you ,if you could to subtitle the vídeos. Because I don't understand much of them and Im suscrite for a long time ago and I need the translate. Thanks!

[@redjack2629]

I've actually been LOOKING for this damn mat just for this effect on props. nerdy as it is, I have a suit of foam armor I want to give a white carbon fiber look on, with a purple iridescence... And seeing how good that came out, I'm all for trying it even more now!

[@kyliklynch7343]

I'm planning on doing this to my red hover board 💯💯

[@reviewdykeusa8347]

It's a Segway without handle bars not a hover board.

[@johnj1766]

kylik lynch it's called a swegway lol

[@jamesamanna5617]

this is a great product.. i dipped all the chrome and emblems its look too good thank u

[@jacesaces15]

At a distance it looks like carbon fiber, up close its still looks good, but not like carbon fiber.

[@neonzebra2024]

DipYourCar Suggestion, temporary spray tac for fabric on the rubber shelving mat to make a light-tac attachment to the black layer to allow for tight lines even on concave applications.

[@redrumm101]

GENIUS!!!!!! That is awesome.

[@LorneChrones]

Pro tip, I recommend covering the antenna (That black bar at the top of the ipad) with blue painters tape before plasti-dipping. The plasti-dip *may* have some signal degredation affects on the iPad, but it's probably not to significant.

[@xPoN3dx]

glossifier.... clear coat?

[@thematthewyoung]

yeah pretty much

[@slidog24]

Big difference between the two. Clear is just plasti dip with no tint in it and leaves a kinda matte effect. Gloss does the opposite as it, well leaves a gloss finish.

[@dtester]

slidog24 ya, but I think he was comparing it to regular automotive painting where "clearcoat" is the transparent glossy coating over the colored car paint. So glossifier is sort of the plasti dip version of clearcoat.

[@redhotcustoms]

For plastic and metals, this is a good method. For leather, i'd go for something more durable. They make spray on leather dyr for people looking to refinish/recolor leather and faux leather seats. Can easily be sprayed through a small paint gun or airbrush.

[@tylerjasoncolunga796]

How would you do this to a car hood with shelving mats?

[@jordanwoods69]

I did it to my 2015 camaro hood. You just have to line it back up perfectly not as hard as it may seem

[@pepsitekk101]

+Jordan Woods did it turn out nice?

[@Thr33.Sid3z]

I've been doing this for a minute now. If you integrated some of the SMOKE into the pattern, it looks so much better. Also if you do it the opposite way, by laying the gunmetal first, it fresh! Doing the white with smoke and gunmetal is my favorite CF look.

[@xxxmxracerxxx]

It will also work and i think better with carpet tape the squares are smaller and more crisp.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

I would use masking tape to hold the drawer liner in place. BTW. You can do this with regular spray paint as well, but then it won't peel off when you are tired of it. If you do, then you would need masking tape around the edges to protect against overspray. With Plasti-dip, I think you could just cut and peel off any excess.

[@hamishsgarage]

looks sick!!!

[@insanepunkz0]

this is a great Idea for something i've got planned, I've got this body kit, Ive spent about 1200 dollars getting it pained but i wanted to add a second tone but i wanted it to be a carbon fiber look, and this idea is simply perfect, Now ive got actual carbon fiber parts on my car including splitters, however there's no way im gonna cut my body kit apart and try to attach carbon fiber to it cause that is ridiculous however this really is a great idea, thanks!!!

[@BashfulBones]

there are now 2millions ricers with "carbon fiber" on their hondas

[@ironicchannelname6457]

a ricer can be any car bro

[@BashfulBones]

90% of them are hondas

[@scathoselite338]

+Bashful Bones I drive a Honda but unlike ricers, I actually tune my car

[@ironicchannelname6457]

Bashful Bones it's more like 60%

[@cornellchelsea2231]

Lmfao. By my personal experience, ricers are the ones that dont have money for aftermarket parts. Everyone loves to make their car look pretty an everyones definition of pretty is diff. Just cause someone wanted their car to look the way they want an sound the way they want an are out of funds for the proper upgrades, they're a ricer? tf? Pretty ignorant to me. Im about the performance not looks BUT i think the word ricer is kinda stupid. all men love cars. respect one another

[@pontiadic42]

I did this to the spoiler of my car and it looks really good. I have a 2003 Gran Prix and it was pretty difficult but it was totally worth it. I could have gone heavier on the glossifier though.

[@cpage313131]

Can I plasti dip my neighbors cat?

[@MesserAaron13]

rod ney glad to know im not the only one....lol

[@nitroAhmed]

I ran out of dip half way through

[@MesserAaron13]

nitroAhmed good one lol

[@fillecool2]

rod ney lightweight all the way

[@khancelms5866]

ya sure just make sure its done in a well ventilated area then you should be good

[@quantumpeep866]

I feel like its a great replica. perhaps another coat with a finer mesh and a silver after? cool job. it looks great.

[@ahmedyusuf1000]

isnt the carbon fiber pattern braids?

[@johnjacob688]

+Ahmed Yusuf Yea, but the raised parts of the weave reflect different than the lower parts so it ends up looking like a checker board.

[@ahmedyusuf1000]

yup

[@HansSoloYolo]

That turned out much better than I expected, pretty cool!

[@collaredgreens1600]

Looks good but seems like a lot of time and money for something that could look great in 10 minutes with $10 piece of vinyl.

[@perryh.5306]

Alot of people cant do Wrap. Plus paint can go into and around places better and easier than wrap.

[@webherring]

When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. :D

[@simon40sp]

To help stop peeling use wet grey scotch,you should do this with any paint spraying it's basic preperation

[@travis110109]

doesnt look like carbon fiber.. looks like a checkerboard

[@moparbrent760]

It would look a bit better if the silver was a bit darker. I agree, looks like a checkerboard

[@KHeidendal]

travis110109 and turn it 45 degrees. Carbon fiber is never straight up or flat.

[@nd2_ian]

@@KHeidendal carbon fiber comes in many orientations. It has something called a "warp direction" which is the direction the carbon fiber lays. So carbon fiber going up and down can either have a 0° or 90° warp direction. And carbon fiber that is diagonal can have a +45° or -45° warp direction.

[@eatsleepturbo]

yeah you can plasti dip almost everything... I did mine and it's really easy to aply and the look is verry nice ... just make sure that you do all the rims using the same way becose if for exemple you do it with one of your friend, he can shoot the paint in a different way and it will be visible on the final produc

[@Poopeepooo123]

but, wait!!!! now it weighs more. isn't carbon fiber whole purpose was to save weight?

[@cekpi7]

5:47

[@QuanTran-vv6mf]

It for the look lol

[@Drizzyluke]

Are u fucking stupid? Did u even whatch the video

[@Poopeepooo123]

lukk lluk LOL, look at this dumbass. he doesn't know that i'm trolling. what a real dumbass. ha ha...... ha.....LOL

[@rune1234561]

+master power You are right, carbon fiber is for saving weight, but carbon fiber parts are expensive, and because of the price people go for the paint or foil :)

[@doctorbull]

Once spray paint is fully dry, it won't have an odor to it. It is usually the solvents that you are smelling. Once those have fully evaporated, leaving just the 100% dry paint, there shouldn't be an issue.

[@jasonbennett9149]

It's lighter now...how much to carbon c fiber dip your car

[@Sad-zd9ks]

checker board design looks nice

[@liberi567]

I don't have something to dip but if you dip your Ipad how do you do this with the camera on the back? It won't work with the carbon fiber look on it

[@retn5989]

You can always peel it off the lens:) hope that helped.

[@TheTreyVidz]

Tape over the lens or try to peel it off after you’re done!

[@MrsGondee]

Yes, with enough force you could of course scratch through it, but it does have a thickness to it.

[@Newlinjim]

Shift the mat down and to the right just slightly before the dusting of silver and it will give you that 3d look of weave. A light coat of black candy or over reduced black basecoat before clear and it will rock!

[@mikewick7324]

Lmao could you find a tighter shirt? 😂😂😂

[@ilikeanimalsoverhumanspier5215]

lol

Its actually a plasti dip shirt.

[@jwjpwjw]

Jaime F Plasti dip XtraMedium from the little boys section at The GAP.

[@jgieka]

it would look very similar, but just a bit lighter. the gray is just for a good base design for the metalizer. you would need a lot of layers of metalizer to get a efficient design.

[@176cgna]

If he had a little more hair he would look like fabregas

[@desertfox2020]

Glossifier is like clear plastidip, it will adhere and come off with the other colors. If you spray normal clearcoat on it, you won't be able to peel it off as one piece.

[@mattcolorz]

Absolutely nothing like carbon fiber...hahaha :'D Btw...does anybody else remember how Moog tried to do this same technique on the TRD LZR??

[@dylaneagleton3090]

He used normal paint not plasti

[@mattcolorz]

re-read my comment with some glasses and a dictionary.... #pleaseandthankyou

[@butteredbiskit3497]

You can use the mesh tape you use to repair dry wall or fiberglass. Just use thin coats so it dries fast and peel it off.

[@WisteriaBerlitz]

I prefer the matte look before you sprayed the glossifier. Kinda made it look, y'know, fake.

[@rickparker4887]

If you move the stencil just a little bit and paint white then it will give it a 3d effect

[@andrewrobins513]

So this guy is selling a diy ricer set

[@neonacr24l]

That's pretty creative using the cabinet pads, I always used my plotter to cut the carbon squares for airbrushing, this would of saved me 4 hrs of prep

[@aanaskhan20033]

I bet this ruined the speaker of the ipad!!!

[@tonywood8250]

I mean if the speakers are on the back then yeah 😂😂😂 but there but the charging port area out of the way

[@dygrp]

anas khan WHAT ABOUT THE CAMERA

[@beckertastic]

mario jacobo YOU CAN PEEL THE DIP OF THE CAMERA

[@aanaskhan20033]

beckertastic next is what piercing through 600 speaker holes with needle :D

[@Poorgeniu5]

anas khan Its an first gen ipad. The speaker lives on the bottom of the device and there's no camera on the device.

[@artiep6358]

I’m going to use this idea with my RC car but I’m going to use drywall tape cause it has smaller holes and hopefully looks better.

[@biglounumber12]

Better to buy carbon fiber wrap...

[@jordanhansen8631]

Better to leave it, or paint it a different color.

[@rosecureton4283]

biglounumber12 cant buy a carbon fiber wrap at autozone.

[@andresito01]

i have a friend picking up the Blaze yellow kit later today in Coral Springs! this carbon fiber look is deff something i'd like to do. good job guys!

[@Ibuxx]

Removes that nasty apple mark :D

[@antdx316]

can add an exact apple logo stick to remove after the coats are complete

[@Dabesiv]

If you do a few clear coats over the vinyl it lasts forever. I've had the same sun glasses for over a year that withstand abuse, sitting up on the dash in the sun and freezing cold winters all because of a clear coat over the vinyl.

[@swordcat1]

I find the mesh from an old pair of swimming shorts gives a better effect for carbon fiber.

[@erox630]

This is sick! Gloss makes it so much better

[@CBales2006]

Would love to see this done with black and the intense teal with silver metalizer and gloss finish

[@creepyloner1979]

if you spray the foam mat with a temporary artist's spray adhesive you can use it on more oddly shaped pieces.

[@Nt0759]

I'm speachless how good that looks.

[@jgieka]

Of course Fonzie has a great mind obviously lol, but pretty sure I got him on the shelf liner, replay 6:05 - 6:20. (Im Josh). Ive been doing this CF design for a few yrs now, and decided to do it with dip. Fonzie and his crew were trying to get the CF look and then I posted on the forum about it, pointing them in the right direction. No doubt they would have figured it though if i hadn't posted, they are a very bright group of people.

[@jgieka]

yeah, I started the cf look on the forum, you guys gotta hit up the DYC forum, so many new and crazy designs going on there.

[@jb4050]

NIce job, dude. As you stated, it is "Carbon Fiber Look". As you also stated, "This may not be for everyone...", it is obvious that haters gotta hate and I'd venture a guess that none of these haters have EVER lifted a finger to try to help others. You have 3.3 million views. Nice job, dude!

[@limited50scla]

A hint of gold on the grey would look nice

[@jB_15]

Cool idea using the non slip mat

[@gahloot]

For Americans-If you have a 99 cent store near you? You can by that rubber matting for 99 cents for a huge piece of it. It comes in a small roll.

[@mattirizarry4335]

Fonzi your the man!!!! In Fonzi we trust all hail fonzi

[@redhotcustoms]

You actually prep the leather with sandpaper and such to clean, as well as make an abrasive adhesion for the dye. Follow the directions that comes with your kit to get best results. It isn't like painting where a few more layers helps, too thick and it feels like plastic.

[@Scimonetti]

I love ideas like this. I would however suggest the rubber mat be folded taunt around the back of the iPad (or whatever you are coating), and then TAPE IT DOWN on the other side to insure the mat WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL in between coats to keep the pattern sharp and crisp looking. Good job Fonzi! Groove responsibly.

[@Robbyj27]

I'd love to plasti dip my car in that carbon fiber look. It looks awesome.

[@nielstuccy486]

A little kiss of "Pure Gold" or "Olive Honey" before the clear would have given it some sparkle. Outstanding job!

[@mweymiller142]

So dipped my chevy emblem today so natrually im pretty jacked bout this plasti dip. got my cans of ebay for 12 dollars a piece.. checked out your website and you sell for half that! i know who I am ordering from next time

[@Rhinolip]

It's in any Hardware or Home Depot type store. It's called Shelf Liner or Drawer Liner.

[@rockyduka26]

Verry nice i will do it my self in my table thanks for the idea

[@sokrutu]

i hope you can answer me that question: how does plastidip feels like? soft? like normal paint? like the surface you spray it on?

[@jgieka]

For anyone who doesn't believe this looks like carbon fiber, I have been doing this design for a few years now, and from 6ft and farther away, it looks just like it. there are also ways to make it look more realistic with another step. But this is obviously intended for looks, not as a replacement.

[@prskater521]

its shelving mat you can get it at walmart, home depot, lowes, target, super cheap

[@MDC2020]

Never really understood the whole reason behind plasti dip, but the more I look into it I can see where it would be fun just to change stuff up. How would plasti Dip work on glass??

[@9DNOTCH306]

just ordered the matte wheel kit, cant wait.

[@TheUnforecastedStorm]

I can't find any carbon fiber style Plasti Dip videos on the channel other than this one.

[@keithmouton566]

Looks Awesome! was looking for an example of this so I could do some Rally stripes in carbon fiber, Thanks!

[@chromedaddy282]

That’s clean custom work buddy 👍🏽👍🏽

[@LambiPowah666]

That was actually quite nice, never thought it would look that good on an iPad to be honest. I am always looking for new things to plastidip! It's really fun, lol!

[@jdmaltezza]

Keep up the awesome work guys. I am a PlastiDip convert and am telling everyone to check you guys out.

[@kenyes2465]

u are such a pro bro. This is look very sick. almost better than carbon fiber.wow

[@TheFrontyer]

I would remove the hood that would make the process easier. If you need that cloth thing just ask a shop/store that sells that kind of stuff. If they dont have it they could most likley make one for you.

[@freddycugarjr]

Cool technique, I think I'm going to try that on my rear lights!
