Not often do folks improve factory finish when they dye/paint their saw, you have excelled.

Hydrodip?
I've been thinking of doing this...

I have done a lot of work with carbon fiber, both wet lay-up and prepreg, and that is one fine looking job! How did you prepare the covers before applying the carbon fiber?

About a year ago someone was selling a similarly decorated saw. Yours looks nicer. Good Going!!!

Well done. That is a sweet looking saw. Just don't set it down in a brush pile covered with snow, you won't find it until spring.

Yes sir. Two part clear is pretty essential for protection and gas/oil resistance

It's a carbon fiber hydrodip pattern

Bottom layer is tightly wrapped tire inner tube, then wrapped with self adhesive friction tape, the sprayed with bed liner for durability and grip

That's an awesome looking saw.

Think about starting a little side business doing this?

Well my side business is buying and selling Stihl Products. I was planning on keeping this one, but don't really need it.. My buddy kept talking carbon fiber Stihl concept, carbon fiber still light bar so that's kinda how I got the idea

Very nicely done sir.

Hydrodip looks easier than it actually is to do. Requires some skill for sure.

Perfectly executed.

Gosh, had I realized it was a competition or I would have tried harder. Or would have at least been tougher on my buddy who dipped the parts...

Don't know if the OP dipped his own or not, but Bryce is selling CF dipped covers just like them on the 'bay if others are wanting that look.

You are the maverick, an inspiration to CAD minded folks...
