A surface covering characterized by a distinctive marbled aesthetic, achieved through the random arrangement of carbon fibers during the forging process, and tinted with a blue hue. This material is frequently applied to vehicles and other items as a decorative or protective layer. The unique visual texture arises from the compression molding of short carbon fiber strands, creating a non-uniform pattern unlike traditional woven carbon fiber.
The adoption of this decorative technique offers several advantages, including enhanced aesthetic appeal and a degree of surface protection against minor abrasions. The forged construction process also permits the creation of complex shapes and designs that are challenging to achieve with conventional carbon fiber layering. Historically, such materials have been associated with high-performance applications, lending a sense of luxury and sophistication to the items they adorn.
