When you want the carbon fiber look without the cost
One of our customers took his 1988 Ibanez 540R guitar which was in rough shape but still played great…and made it look new again. All it took was a little bit of DI-NOC vinyl and he was able to refinish his guitar bringing it up-to-date with a new carbon fiber look.\r\n\r\n
We love to see 3M’s DI-NOC carbon fiber vinyl being used outside of just the automotive world. Things like prototyping, architectural design, technology, refinishing products, and more. The applications for the vinyl are literally unlimited. In the below video we guide you through the steps to wrap a refridgerator in the vinyl, giving it a completely different look than before. While the fridge we used already looked new, imagine taking one that is starting to look outdated, but works just fine. Using the vinyl, you can give it life once again and save money while giving it an updated look.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nIf you have anything unique that you’ve used 3M’s DI-NOC for, let us know! We’re always looking for the latest and greatest uses.
Sean, one of our customers, has gone wild with his recently acquired 3M carbon fiber DI-NOC vinyl. He wrapped all the gadgets he had including his Xbox 360, two Blackberries, his iPhone, his lighter, and his keys:\r\n\r\n
We just love when we get e-mails from our customers that have installed 3M’s carbon fiber DI-NOC vinyl on a unique item. This time around Rod took his Playstation 3 guitar for Guitar Hero, and wrapped it with the film:\r\n\r\n
What I like the most about the material is that is very forgiven and easy to use…. just apply some heat and your can do whatever you like. I used the rest of my material for small things like my credit card and office mouse. The quality of the vinyl is really superb and it looks really nice!\r\n\r\nWhen wrapping the guitar hero guitar with the vinyl, be sure to completely remove the faceplate for easier installation and better finishing.\r\n\r\nBehind the guitar there is a button to easily unlock and remove the faceplate.

One of the first things we did when we were trying out the 3M DI-NOC carbon fiber vinyl was cover the lightswitch back plate. We had just painted the office a dark grey, so we though it would match perfectly…and it did 🙂 Here’s a little run through of what we did:\r\n\r\nWe used a 12″x12″ 3M DI-NOC CA-421 carbon fiber sheet (although we could have obviously used a much smaller piece), but you can see it in comparison to the switch plate:\r\n\r\n
Here at Carbon Fiber Film, we only sell genuine 3M™ DI-NOC™, the best carbon fiber vinyl in the industry.
3M™ DI-NOC™ is a high-end vinyl from 3M™ from their Architectural Finishes series. The vinyl can be installed on all sorts of surfaces, regardless of the curvature. This means there are an unlimited amount of applications, from the interior of your car to the back of your laptop.
The original CA-421 (black) model that we sell gives a dry carbon look, though it's available in 9 different color/finishes. Contrary to initial belief, carbon fiber DI-NOC™ is not just a printed carbon fiber pattern, but in fact has a three-dimensional texture to it. This allows it to reflect light the same way that real carbon fiber would, making it the best real-world alternative to carbon fiber when you just want the look without paying a ton of money. There are plenty of other benefits that make the 3M™ DI-NOC™ carbon fiber vinyl so great, read our FAQ for more info!
