It is over-laminated with either a clear gloss, matte, semi, or satin finish.

The textured vinyl can be printed, however the lettering would not be over-laminated. (Just don't spill on your panel)

The example above actually gives the most accurate representation of an actual carbon-fiber panel. Smooth and glossy.

I saw this panel on Saturday and it turned out very nice. Great labeling job too. Sharp and crisp letters with a nice size and font. The carbon fiber looked so real I just had to touch it to make sure it wasn't and even then I wasn't sure.

Is there any chance of getting a small sample of the material with a printed word on it, and the semi or satin over lam? couple of inches sq would be enough?

additionally or alternately, I'd like to see a printed word on the 3m textured material.

If you made up a sample set, I'd be happy to return after I'd seen them so you could send to another potential customer.

If so, PM me for address/logistics
