Customer Gives His Camry A White Carbon Fiber Hood

One of our customers was one of the very first in the country that we’ve seen to use 3M’s carbon fiber vinyl in white.  He wrapped the hood on his Toyota Camry:

As you can see, the pattern is almost barely visible, but it’s there.

Our customer best described this as:

  1. Standing 15-20 ft away it looks like a matte white
  2. 5-10 ft away you start to see a pattern
  3. When you’re close, you want to touch it, and yes, you can feel the carbon fiber pattern

Note that in some of the shots the camera makes it look off-white, but in actuality it is white.

Also please keep in mind that white is one of the colors that does not have the same guaranteed durability testing from 3M that the darker colors have.  While we haven’t seen issues, the material may not lost as long in outdoor environments.  If your car is mostly garage kept or a show car, we don’t expect many issues.

3M Carbon Fiber DI-NOC Now Available In 7 Different Colors

Previously we’ve only made the black carbon fiber material from 3M’s DI-NOC series available for sale. Many people don’t know, but 3M actually makes the carbon fiber pattern in seven different colors:

  • CA-418 – Silver
  • CA-419 – White
  • CA-420 – Graphite/Gunmetal
  • CA-421 – Black
  • CA-422 – Light pewter
  • CA-423 – Dark pewter
  • CA-424 – Brown

Today we’re announcing that all of the colors are available and for sale from us here at Carbon Fiber Film!  Take a look at the lineup:

To get a better idea of how each colors looks, especially when reflecting light, watch the below video we made showing all of the colors:

Even though some of the colors actually cost us more money, we’re price matching all colors to our current pricing.  You’ll find that no matter what color you purchase, it’s all the same price!

Please note that the CA-419, CA-419, and CA-422 (silver/white/light pewter) don’t have the same outdoor durability testing from 3M as the other darker colors, and don’t have the same expected durability of 4 years.  With that in mind, we haven’t heard any issues from customers yet, and for applications like show cars or garaged cars where they won’t be under the sun too much we don’t expect many issues.  In fact in a recent trip to London we saw this Porsche Cayenne outside of Harrod’s with white 3M carbon fiber DI-NOC…looked amazing!

It’s barely noticeable from further away, but up close you can see the carbon fiber pattern.  I really love that subtle look.

To order any of the new colors, simply click the buy now button and you’ll be forward over to our parent site at Carbon Fiber Gear.  From there, simply choose the size and color you need.  We are still offering 4″x8″ samples of all colors for just $8 shipped if you want to get an idea how it looks in person.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us or reply in the comments.
