Default Dinoc "ME-379"

I am not a fan of "carbon fiber wrap" so I did a lot of digging and was able to find a US retailer that sales DINOC ME-379 (Metallic family) and I love this product and color, its just about disappeared from the internet. PM if you have any questions, or if anyone else knows I can get it somewhere else as the retailer is a little pricey.

Its actually hard to describe the color, in natural Sunlight the Metallic glistens and is lighter in color not as dark as most of my pictures, however in low light/artificial light its dark, like a bushed metallic graphite. I am still wrapping so its not completely done yet, but here's my current progress enjoy.

Wow that is georgous !! That's what our denalis should have came with .

Is this stuff difficult to apply ? It looks factory the way you have done it .

I was going to paint my wood grain pieces but may wrap them if it's not to difficult and turns out like yours did .

Thumbs up

Thanks Tim I couldn't agree more about its the way the Denali's should have come the fake wood is just awful, Its my first time using it and I think it came out well. In the process of learning I had to redo the radio bezel trim but take your time and go slow, peels off nice and clean, it also protects the cheap plastic clear coat from scratching as well all know it scratches so easy. I watched just about every YouTube video to learn some of the techniques.

3M's 34 primer is a must, and would not recommend adding Dinoc to our plastic's with out it really works well and holds the Dinoc in place once its set. All my primer was added to the back side, no primer on the fake wood in case I wanted to return it to stock. I also recommend a high quality heat gun with multiple settings. The Dinoc doesn't need high heat, it becomes very soft and easy to work once warmed think I used low setting on 350 degrees, so a hair dryer would work as well. I will post more pics when I finish the rest of my trim pieces, think the steering wheel is going to be the hardest.
