I've never personally don't it but I'd imagine it would be simmilar to fiberglassing with woven fiberglass. There are plenty of videos on youtube that show you how to carbon fiber wrap things.

Any videos specific to this? Is appears you basically wrap the material onto the surface then paint the resin over it? Is this about right? Lol
