i had some dipped interior trim bits on the mark 5 and they do look very good
you can actually buy the bits to do this your self but you are best to clear coat when done
i would love a few bits done on the j i may look into this for the alloys :cool

here you go rusty Black Carbon Fibre Hydrographics Film - Rolled In Tube - Dip This | eBay
and the activator http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hydrographics-Activator-Water-Transfer-Printing-Film-Hydro-Dipping-Dip-Kit-/321380272430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ad3c1c92e
so much more fun and a better result than wrapping
and there are loads of designs to choose

here is how to do it
DIY camo gun dipping kit hydrographics - YouTube
but you really only need the film and the activator as long as the part is clean before you dip you can use primer for a better result
and clear coat after is a must for protection and new water must be used for each part you dip
My girl friend dipping my bits using mydipkit from http://www.mydipkit.co.uk.mp4 - YouTube

Seen some video's of that stuff the other day. Does look very easy to do. And not as expensive as I 1st thought.

Good video Rusty , a joy to watch. I wonder if they do carbon black. .
Wheel painting - Cameron UK - 9:th-May-2014
Yeh I've seen it done in carbon black before, wonder how long it would last in the elements
Wheel painting - tucpal - 9:th-May-2014
you have to use clear coat lacquer over it and it will last
but very hard to fix if you curb the alloys.
interior parts last very well
