As promised, I decided to perform a little (albeit improvised) experiment with some carbon fiber that I had lying around to see if I could get that random shimmering look. The polyurethane binding agent was sufficient for a test, but I think I'd switch to a harder material for final parts. The aim of the test was to see how well the carbon and binder would capture harsh angles and fine detail, and I'm very pleased at the results.

The effect is difficult to capture under artificial light, but looks very impressive, despite the fact that I used much finer carbon strands. I'll see to taking some better pictures in daylight in the next day or two.
