HYPETEX® Colored Carbon Fiber – 2x2 Twill, 3k – 7.23oz (245gsm) – 50" Width
Achieve a premium, paint-free cosmetic finish with HYPETEX® colored 2x2 twill carbon fiber. Using a patented, water-based nano-pigment process, color is introduced during manufacture to deliver a deep, uniform hue straight from the mold. That means less finishing work, no paint weight, and a truly show-surface carbon appearance.
