Ballistic 28 Posted May 13, 2012 I got some 3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon Fiber vinyl this week stuff is so real looking! Photo here anyone else use it for stickers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr12volt1338 116 Posted May 13, 2012 I bought some from a guy and used it to wrap a couple cell phones and and a laptop. Stuff is really sweet. Wish I had the funds to order a roll. Where did you get it? All my local suppliers only have 54" rolls and won't cut it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistic 28 Posted May 13, 2012 Im thinking of doing the back of my iphone and then was thinking maybe my laptop would look cool, how did you do the laptop? find or make a template? I got it from this company on amazon: http://www.amazon.co...=A38KC3G8X6TR19 they sell it in all shapes and sizes and i dont think 3M makes it in a 54" roll its only a 60" roll, if i was to order from denco sales (where i get vinyl) its around 60 bucks a yard (not sure if there is a 10 yard minimum on that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I do wraps for the most part I just wrap them and trim out what I want to show. I am just starting to mess with wrapping Xbox 360's using a template. I am going to check out the textured rolls that UScutter has and go from there on ordering the 3m stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2CT Media 25 Posted May 13, 2012 We print on the white carbon fiber all the time and liquid laminate... we can do custom colors that aren't available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We print on the white carbon fiber all the time and liquid laminate... we can do custom colors that aren't available. That seems pretty cool what are some of your popular colors?

2CT Media 25 Posted May 14, 2012 Red and Blue... we just bid on a pink carbon wrap for a company sponsoring something Susan G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr12volt1338 116 Posted May 14, 2012 Most of them turn out pretty sweet. I haven't printed one yet but am thinking of doing mine that way just have to come up with what I want on it. I wrapped one a few weeks ago with some wicked crazy chrome. I almost had to wear sunglasses while wrapping it the light kept catching it and almost blinding me. The guy has it in his game room in a cabinet with a bunch of different L.E.D.s we put in there that all "strobe" different colors. It looks really crazy when its dark in there. I will see if I can get him to send me some pictures. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheVinylBrothers 1 Posted May 14, 2012 does it have 'depth' to it when you look at it like real carbon fiber? I've yet to see a CF vinyl that actually, really, truly, looks like carbon fiber. If you look at most vinyls hard/long enough, you can tell it's vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look around on the 3m site they will send you free sample packs of their 1080 wrap products. They are only like 4"x6" pieces but you really get a great appreciation for the colors and actual look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

34Ford 7 Posted May 15, 2012 Did you read the ones guys review on Amazon. Since this is not 3M DI-NOC it may not be as durable. But is it more affordable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2CT Media 25 Posted May 15, 2012 Di-NOC is only for Indoor Architectural uses, the 1080 Line has the same warranty as 180Cv3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2CT Media 25 Posted May 15, 2012 BTW for those of you that think its expensive through MetroReStyling, My cost is is about 40% lower than their retail not including the shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistic 28 Posted May 19, 2012 BTW for those of you that think its expensive through MetroReStyling, My cost is is about 40% lower than their retail not including the shipping. But how much do you have to buy? minimum of 10 yards or a roll? even from fellers was more per yard then MetroReStyling iirc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2CT Media 25 Posted May 20, 2012 We buy 10, 25, or 50 yard rolls dependent on the jobs requirements. I pay $42.11/yard "by-the-yard" and about 20% less for 50 yard rolls for Textured 1080, but we buy 5+ rolls of 3M 1080 / month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you dont mind me asking where do you order from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2CT Media 25 Posted May 20, 2012 N.Glantz, Montroy's, or Fellers... you just have to negotiate or buy in volume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
