Carbon is today a great decoration for a car. In addition, the material helps protect the surface from minor damage (scratches). The carbon film on the hood, as well as on other parts of the machine, consists of carbon filaments, which are glued together in a special way. A feature of the presented material is a small mass with high strength. The disadvantage is its cost, so not everyone can afford such a luxury, although it will subsequently fully pay off.
If you do not know how to glue the carbon film correctly, first deal with the color, type of material, as well as the place where you are going to fix it. It should be noted that in this way you can issue some internal parts of the car. Work should be done as carefully as possible. It is impossible to rush in this matter, since it is possible to spoil rather expensive material. The gluing surface should be flat. In addition, it is easy to make a mistake in the choice, since it is rather difficult to distinguish the original material from the fake. However, in any case, it is able to close small scratches on your car.
Before gluing the carbon film correctly, try to select the necessary material in advance. No specific tools are needed. Prepare the film itself, the building hair dryer, and also dust away the area of the machine that will be processed.
Before gluing the carbon film properly, it is imperative to degrease the surface with isopropyl or other alcohol. If there are any irregularities on the machine, then they must be eliminated. For this, you can use a primer (primer). Large areas that will be processed with a film should be preheated so that the material sticks better. Small details do not need this procedure.
So, now you can go directly to sticking. Before gluing the carbon film correctly, it is imperative to cut out the element, which in size and shape will exactly fit the surface to be treated. However, note that at the edges of the hood, doors or trunk, material should be cut off with a margin, since these elements of the car are very often used. Note that the temperature of the room or outdoors should not be less than 5 degrees.
Since the material has a substrate, it should be removed only after a careful fitting of the element. Now wash the treated area with soapy water so that no air bubbles form under the material. In addition, in this case, you can position the element as accurately as possible. Now we glue the carbon film with our own hands: remove the substrate, place and adjust the material on the surface, straighten it with a rubber squeegee and heat it with a building hairdryer. Please note that to smooth the element should be from the middle to the edges. The film straightens very neatly.
After the whole element is pasted, you should go over it with a hairdryer and leave it alone for a quarter of an hour. After that, iron the surface with a felt squeegee, cut off the remaining material and enjoy the beauty of your car.
