Danbury, Connecticut | You can do it yourself. There are videos on youtube that show you how. Just clean it up good, visualize the process, cut it a little big and wrap. Make alignment reference marks so the "grain" is straight. If you goof you can peel it pack and start over. One of the videos shows a guy wadding the stuff up in a ball and then unpeeling it and laying it out. You will need access to a heat gun. I did mine two years ago and it still looks great. If you search through the archives here you should find a link to the video. Get the 3M branded product. |

| First off wash it real good so no wax or oils. Get some 200 wet sand paper. Put a couple drops of dish soap in a what ever, sand it real good so there is no shine. Now your ready for C/F.
Use something that produce heat like a hair dryer or heat gun. Warming the C/F makes it easier to wrap around. Trim all the C/F out of the holes. If you use a good quality C/F wax should not leave white spots behind. If you want you can even clear coat the C/F.
Or if you really like the look of the black consul why not get it power coated black.
