challenge
Support the high performance and aggressive styling of the bass boat by integrating carbon fiber finish into aluminum trim
solution
A carbon fiber finish was chosen from our library of finishes on aluminum for the new Z251 Comanche. Concept drawings were used to explore the placement of the carbon fiber and options in border width and design. Recommendations were made to minimize costs. The imitation carbon fiber has movement and depth created with a selective brush. The low gloss carbon fiber finish is accented with a high gloss bright aluminum border. The trim is cost effectively updated in following model years with a new metal finish changing the overall appearance of the dash trim.
