Default Carbon Fiber looking powder?

Has anyone seen or knows who sells powder that looks like carbon Fiber? I have notice a few coating companies advertising the carbon fiber look from powder.
Any ideas?

Try checking Powderbuythepound or maybe NIC Industries. Both are dot com.

if this exists out of the box, it would blow my mind. i expect these companies are doing something like dye sublimation into a regular powder.

I've never heard of it but you could probably accomplish the look with two color screen masking.

i would imagine that when they say "carbon fiber look" they mean that style of black. If you go to a hobby store that has airplane parts they will have carbon fiber rods but its not woven, jsut basicly resin with hammer milled carbon fiber mixed in.

I've been doing it for while with a vinyl stencil
but works for flat areas and not for complicated things like wheels.
some cuatomers ask for a color name tattered black wich is like a silver vein but more black than silver and from a distance it looks like carbon fiber
