Hi,

Any suggestions as to how to put a great looking logo onto a finished carbon fibre part? I'm thinking a logo in silver should look good against the carbon fibre background.

I'm guessing silver wording on a clear adhesive label would do if quality wasn't an issue, but how would you go about it if the only concern was making the finished part look really professional?

Thanks in advance!

Another way for embossed logo's is to put a mirror image vinyl on the mould and release coat over it.  You will likely need either a thicker vinyl or precisely place a few layers ontop of each other to get a deep recess.

Another method I use which is a bit more subtle is to use the vinyl graphics/ letters etc as a mask. Apply the graphics, Soda Blast the area, peel off the graphics and you are left with a subtle frosted glass finish contrasting the high gloss. Makes a really nice chess board Smile
