Carbon Fibre Rocker Cover

[fred130111]

What is the best way to get a carbon fibre look on a rocker cover?

Pretty sure a wrap would melt
Never seen an actual carbon fibre rocker cover for sale

I am thinking the best way would be to use templates to spray different layers to get the carbon look.

Any suggestions welcomed

I've seen successful hydrodips?

That's a good idea, never looked into prices or places where I can get that done though. I was always under the impressions its pretty expensive.

I will certainly look into it

fake carbon is never, ever cool, and rarely looks anything like carbon fibre.

You could get your existing cam cover "skinned" in carbon fibre mat.. basically a wet layup of CF on top of the metal - looks "real" but is just decorative, the other option would be to commission a real CF cam cover, at great expense

water transfer printing ("dipping" "hydrodipping" etc) is an option, but it still looks nothing like carbon fibre.. just black with silver/grey dashes

Have a chat with Peter- the garage next to his unit do hydro dipping, I specifically asked about doing cam covers this morning and they reckon there's no problems with the heat levels....the finish they get is spot on as well

We do real carbon fibre skinning

To hydro dip a spoiler is £120 approx. as a base for an estimate.

Ah right cool, thanks Thinking I may just get the inlet manifold done now seeing as on the N/A's you don't see much of the rocker cover. Not as expensive as I thought though
