This is not true.THe major purpose on these and other supercars is the strength
and especially the lightness of CF.Thats real carbon fiber on the Aston in your pic.Carbon Fiber comes in several sizes of twills or,patterns.Usually the twill size will
grow with the size of the item.Small pieces like switch panels,knobs etc do not use a
twill but more of a "dot" pattern.
Personally,I hate any kind of "CF" wrap.Its just a picture of real CF like a Formica
counter top.For some time,the CF wraps have been in more of a semi-gloss finish.
There are now being sold in a gloss finish to replicate a clear coat that is used on real
carbon fiber.However,these wraps still don't give the depth of the real stuff.Its fake.
search youtube for 3M 1080 series carbon fiber wrap (sure cheap enough) , all those lambo and mac laren use wrap from 3M, and it not look glossy at all. What i am asking is how can they gloss like this :
