When I made my customised A pillars I initially bought a length of carbon fibre (the actual weave not a wrap) that I intended to cover them with, but as I'd never covered anything like that before and I found it more difficult than I'd thought, I did them in vinyl instead, so I've had this roll of carbon fibre waiting for a purpose in life.
I decided I'd have a go with my door mirrors, covering the tops in carbon fibre and painting the lowers Indium Grey to match the van. I started with basic unpainted ones
I coated them in epoxy and let it go tacky before placing the cf on them. I did them on separate days so that I could learn from any mistakes the first time and do it better the second. In the end the first one turned out better.
After that, I covered them in another coating of resin and left them to dry for a couple of days.
