Default Carbon Dip

Had an email today from a firm that can carbon dip your car parts.
Has anyone had this done and if so is it any good?

Wow a whole dash? I have heard of scoops and handles but something that big would be a task.

I have had it done and it looks great. There is a group buy on her at the moment for Hydrographics.

The quality of Lee's (Locky) work is fantastic - More examples of his work here:

Now that really does look very smart. It must be only microns thick, so how durable is this stuff? In an interior I mean.
