Default Painted CF-Real CF

I been playing around with some CF cloth and fiberglass but recently I've been playing with painting it. Tell me what you think about it. This is my Gas cover PAINTED on top of my REAL Carbon creations CF trunk lid.

What'd you use for pattern a drawer liner or cheese cloth? Ive done some of those as well. Some of the airbrush courses for customer paint classes show that technique.

I used the kitchen cabinet mat. if I were to do something small or low to the ground like a front lip or maybe interior pieces I might be able to get away with it
