Skywatcher ST80 arrived today. a few hours later and it looks like this:

Wanted to give it a facelight more inkeeping with the higher end SW range so purchased some Carbon Fibre vinyl sheet.

next mods are.....flocking the inner tube, Blacking out the edges of the lenses and focusser tweaks.

That looks great. Where did you get the sheet from and was it expensive? Did you lift the sticker off and put it on over the top of the sheet or is it seen through a cut out section?

Carbon vinyl off fleabay....£3 a sheet. Sticker was peeled off using a craft knife then reattached.
