So a couple months we bought a salvaged lx150 for him to learn to ride. In the process someone else dropped it and so time to redo it. We are thinking of doing carbon fiber wrap instead of paint. Let's see how we do.

Good luck with the project!
What vinyl are you going to use? I've seen some with a real carbon look and shine, for example the one shown in the pic below.
Good luck again and keep posting!
This is one sold here in Spain, they call it Carbon 5D, I assume you would be able to find something similar over there. You can see how it shines and how real the carbon looks.

That looks like a thing of beauty. I got some called 4d. I hope it is good enough. Thanks for the encouragement

Looking good. Check out my LX Longines post. I've had quite a bit of powder coating done, It's came out nice.
