Very nice , I would coat it with the resin which is easy to get ,other wise it will start to pull apart.
I used 2 part epoxy which should not be hard to get , i bought some from home depot as well as rona for quick fixes in the paint section.

No it is easy to apply it comes in 2 parts you just coat it with a brush as it is thick like varnish ,let it dry and then you are good. Things like clear coat paint will just soak into it instead.
I would do this but i want a wood wheel.

sakataj: Thanks. No, I don't plan on doing any other pieces. I'd be too scared to work on other people's trim because I'm inexperienced in this arena. This was my own trim, so if I screwed up, it was my own fault.

LOL. Thanks for the faith. Well, I might have time in the summer to work more on these type of projects. I may have to speak to some CL moderators also. I remember that JeffTsai was not allowed to do retrofitting for members or something like that? I don't remember the details. Maybe someone can photoshop CF onto tan leather so you could see how it looks?

After doing further research, it looks like I am going to have to apply some epoxy resin and top coat to ensure durability. Of course I have no experience doing this as well. Looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend. LOL Wish me luck! I'll keep all of you posted.
