Hi Guys,
I am after your advice and opinions.
Carbon Fibre has a "Cool" image and always looks good if done well.
I am thinking of using Alufibre as a first decorative layer on a project.
Does it look good or bad on a large item?
Has anyone used it that could share pictures.

Brian.

I think Brainfart has given a very generous example of how to do it extremely well.  In his post he mentions about getting the base color closer to the texalium color.  I think in your case you would have to do some tests because it would possibly/probably require 3 layers of texalium before you got rid of all the black carbon coming through the weave.  I have used texalium in 2 layers, and you could still see through it in spots.
