(PICS) Bat's Hexis 3d Textured Carbon Fiber Overlay
Well guys, finally have some pics of my Hexis 3d cf roof overlay sample on a customers car, this on a 2011 STI Sedan, so you can see what it looks like. Notice the nice sheen to it

yeah Dinoc is far too gray in the direct sunlight.. no bueno. Getting rid of mine.
Are the installation characteristic of this similar to dinoc tho? Stiff sheet characteristic? Needs primer, lifts up on compounds easily when reheated, goes back to orig shape when heated, dries stiff, etc?
DO you sell it? and if so whats the price per sq ft.

Hexis Carbon 3M Di-Noc
Designed for automotive and exterior use in mind? Yes No - Di-Noc was designed as an interior Architectural Finish
Removable at some point down the road? Yes fully reversible No*
Not without significant damage to what it was applied to
Dimensionally stable after thermoforming on complex surfaces? Yes No*
Surface primer (adhesion promoter) necessary
Exterior application life expectancy - vertical application? 3-5 Years depending on climate (will last longer in northern climates) 3-4 years (will last longer in northern climates)
Exterior application to a horizontal surface? (ie Hood, Roof, Trunk overlay) Yes with 40% reduction in life over vertical application if unprotected No, not recommended at all
Seamless application on large surfaces? Yes in most cases - Max width is 54 inches / 1370 mm Maybe but Max width is only 48 inches / 1218 mm

so with the specs you posted, then a typical horizontal application would last 1.8 - 3.0 years before reapplication?
could you.. clear coat something like this to extend life and still be able to remove it like a vinyl?
