In order to make the interior of the car more attractive, it is not uncommon for vehicle owners to use carbon film. This material is notable for the fact that no special skills are required to use it, which is an important factor.
Instructions
Step 1
The carbon film is a high quality imitation of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, but it does not have the same qualities as the above material. Along with the pluses, it also has its minuses. So, it can ideally lie only on a flat surface, remember this before using.
Step 2
Initially, using isopropyl alcohol, thoroughly clean the surface of the vehicle interior. In this case, it is advisable to prime curved surfaces. Use an excellent solution for these purposes, which is a substance called a primer. The use of this liquid will several times increase the adhesion process (adhesion between the surface layers of dissimilar bodies) of the film relative to the surface of the car interior.
Step 3
After the primer has been applied, you can proceed directly to gluing the film. If you need to apply a complex carbon applique, first warm up the sections, and warm them in large pieces, not small ones. This will make the film much easier to fit.
Step 4
Use a sealant for joints, overlaps and free edges. With it, you will protect the edges of the carbon film from both external environmental conditions and mechanical stress, which will increase its service life.
Step 5
At this stage, the procedure for wrapping the car interior with a carbon film is almost complete. There is only one simple, but no less important step left. Be sure to warm up critical areas of the film. This can be done with a construction hair dryer or other device that blows warm air. Due to the fact that they maintain high temperatures, with its help, it is possible to firmly fix the carbon applique on the car body.
