Carbon Fiber Twill
So next steps.
I need to take pre-orders for 10 sets @ $15/set to order the material.
Fill out the form if you’re interested.

That pot leaf needs some green paint worked in the grooves and that thinks would like the bees knees. Really help pop that shiny aluminum out.

Its not easy lol.
I would probably paint the whole thing green and then take a sanding block to it so it leaves only the outline painted.
Doing it by hand like i did on the mandalorian Crest wasn’t fun.

It actually is. The way I did the jokers you did for me was painted over top with with black nail polish and or testors model paint and let it dry a bit then take 100% actone and put it on a rag or paper towel and wipe over the paint the paint in the cuts will stay and the rest will wipe off. Took a little testing to see what solvents would dissolve the testors paint

Hows that holding up? My model paint isn’t holding up so great.
I havent had the time to get the right hardware or install them on the board yet. I think it would probably hole a little better because it isnt on the smooth metal surface it is in the rougher area that was carved out so the paint actually has something to hold to. It always makes it so you see all the little details.

Done and done. This is the beginning of a great journey!
I’m also not sure if the honeycomb pattern will look good on this material.

Bruv these carbon fiber X-things are gonna be sick. I think they’ll go a little better with my boards aesthetic than raw aluminum.

Milled honeycomb for aluminum and not for CF Twill. Just don’t need it!
