g'day stewpot, i've heard of carbon fibre spray in a can but not sure where to get it from, also heard it doesn't look to good at all. Have you contacted Carbon Aramid Constructions???

I contacted this guy and he said he still does all carbon fibre plastics for the XT, the front guard was $200AU and the pics he has on the website of them, looks pretty damn cool, i would have a set if the bank would allow me!!

People do it with paint using a pair of fishnet stockings believe it or not. Gives the criss cross effect.

Does a reasonable job if they're a decent painter.

You can buy carbon fibre "effect" vinyl ( the stuff they make graphics from), depends how confident you are about getting a good enough look without wrinkles etc

There's a bloke in Greece on here who makes the real deal, can't remember his name though!
