Default Something i tried and came out pretty good!

Ok so i got this idea off of youtube of how to paint something and give it a kinda carbon fiber kind of look.
1st i painted it black then i used something like a kitchen table setting that has the square holes in it then sprayed it red then clear coated it i think that it came out kind of cool let me know what you think!!!1

Its cool man, it makes the cover really stand out, although i like the more subdued approach you took, it's less of an assault on the eyes.lol

I did mine ford blue too I think it's just a little too in your face so I'm going to redo it white with the square silver and red letters.
