@zealot008 No sorry. i did try tho. it came out terrible because i made a mess of it the first couple of times. so it would of made for a bad tutorial. Thanks for watching tho!
@donttryme17 I havnt looked in ages. just google 3M carbon fibre vinyl and you should be able to find somewhere that sells it. just makes sure its the DI-NOC type. thanks.
@PancakePlease Thats great!! i did try to make a video of me applying the vinyl but to be honest it came out crap. it was the first time i have ever done it and it took a few attempts to make it look perfect, so the video was a bad example. luckily the vinyl is decent stuff and can be peeled off and re-done a few times before it loses its stickyness, so just take your time with it and you should be fine. try search for other vinly vids to get tips and advice. and comment back with how you did!
@MegaMachelp Cool!, i know i guy with a white sony vaio they are really nice laptops. to make the vinyl form around the edges you apply the vinyl to the laptop lid with some excess hanging over each edge. then with a hair dryer you heat it a little and pull it tightly over the corners, this makes sure you do not get any creases. then one the glue has dried you can trim it with a razor blade along the joins to make it look pro. good luck!
@iTouchiPodz001 Its actually pretty easy, just buy a sheet of decent Carbon fibre vinyl. then you just peel off the back and line it up on the lid of your netbook. once you get to a corner or an edge you gently heat the vinly with a hairdryer or heatgun and stretch the vinyl over it. its really sticky so will hold to the shape. then trim off the excess with a razor blade...simple!. thanks for your comment.
@InnovationJunkie is it hard to trim i really like the look but im like a perfectionist so if i mess up, than ya hahah could i use a hairdryer instead, so line up head and smoothen the cut thanks
Cheers on the great video - awesome closeups as well! I think I'll be doing the same as you with my Dell Mini! If I like it as much as I think I will - haha - I'll be doing the roof of my 350Z. Thanks again!!
Maybe you should have bought a CF kit for 40 pounds, with a square metre CF cloth and all, and apply that instead. Sorry to say, i've looked at samples of real carbon and the vinyl, and the real deal has a lot more depth to it. With a clearcoat, it looks really really good.
The Vinyl is fine, but it's easy to see it's fake once you take a look at it. However, enough bullshit/rant from me. You made a great solution to the problem! -- great job!
Thanks for your comment, The 3M vinyl i used is a close to the real thing as it gets. and looks the most realistic. with real carbon you need to apply a resin to make it set, and then sand and polish to make it look decent,,way to much work and money for the same effect as a A4 sized sheet of 3M vinyl. plus i can pull the vinyl off and replace if i wanted or needed to...something you cannot do with real carbon fibre.
It might increase the resale price, but to be honest this Eee is old now. so they do not sell for much anyway. i covered mine with vinyl so it would not get scratched. when i come to sell it i know it is totally scratch free so looks as good as new,,its up to the next owner to decide if they want to keep the vinyl or remove it. the beauty of vinyl over real CF.
I tried to make a video of me putting the vinyl on my netbook but it came out really bad as it took a few attempts to get it perfect, so the video sucked. it was a little harder to apply than i expected and my technique was terrible so the video would of been a bad tutorial lol. good luck with the Business.
Thank you,, with edges and corners you have to first gently heat the vinyl with a hair dryer or hot air gun, and pull the vinyl over the corners tightly, the vinyl is very sticky so it will stick once its stretched. the tighter you pull it the fewer wrinkles you will get. and its very forgiving so if you get it wrong just pull it up and try again. good luck.
do you have any tutorial on how to install this?

True, but if you did it in real CF, the resale price of the lappie would highen. At least I would consider it an asset

Great job! Question though. How do you wrap around edges and curves? It becomes wrinkled no matter what because of the excessive vinyl...
