How to do CF Car Hood

1. After you have done the main body colour and gloss coated the surface. Use masking tape to lay on the hood.


2. Use a new blade and cut to shape.


3. Now you have your template of the hood. Cut to shape on the CF decal.
(Note, good to have about 1-2mm allowance at the side for any final adjustments)


4. Using soft paint brush to apply the decal softener slowly and carefully. As the decal softens.. use blade to cut the holes. Take note to slice the decals to the corners of the holes so that the decal can fold inwards.
I took 1.5 hours to slowly conform the CF decal to the whole hood.
(includes waiting time for the decal to soften)
