For my supra i used an airbush. i started with a coat of testors primer then i wet sanded it with 800 grit wet/dry sand paper, then anotyer coat of primer, more sanding, then 2 caots of testor gloss black, then 5 coays of timaya cc. for the hood i used testors flat black painted it on really thick then took a dry brush and drug it across diagonally then airbrushed on another coat after that dried to get that carbon fiber look. i think it came out pretty good check it out at
