Gary, about 2 weeks I was looking at a suppliers catalogue of this stuff that had little sample patches stuck in it.
It ranged from the horrible old flat printed carbon look film, to a woven finish 3d plastic film, very real looking from a distance but up real close you could see it was fake, to one that was almost indistinguishable from a 2x2 twill weave carbon with a good thin clear resin over it.
These vinyl films have definitely come a long way in looking like real carbon now.

I have another carbon vinyl that looks more like carbon with the clear coating over it. it has a metal backing, so it can only be stuck onto flat surfaces. I can take some pics if you want to see it.
Let me know.

The last 4 pics posted are of the metal backing carbon look vinyl. It has i high gloss look. It CAN NOT be used to wrap with. Only flat surfaces.
The past pics just shows the difference between the two gloss - non wrap & matt - wrap
Hope that makes sense
Any questions feel free to call me

what I've seen people do is they spray like an epoxy over it to make it look even more realistic
