So these are the center caps that came on my new matte black wheels and the steps i took to rectify it 
first thing i did was scuff them up and shoot them with some primer and matte black paint, then the fun parts
step 1: tape a piece of wax paper to a flat surface to aid in release later.
step 2: tape the carbon fiber cloth down to said wax paper to keep it from curling and shifting while laying down resin.
step 3: mix a small amount of resin and MEKP to lay into the cloth. a few drops of MEXP for this little amount is more than enough. If you mix it too hot it will warp
step 4: brush the resin into the fiber GENTLY. try to go one direction (up & down OR side to side) to avoid damaging the look of the cloth. now we wait for the resin to dry.
step 5: un tape your sheet from your flat surface. the side that was facing down into the wax paper is the side we want to use as it has no fraying from the brush strokes and wont require any sanding.
step 6: cut out 4 circles from your flat sheet you created in the steps earlier.
