Clean it with peanut butter. Then clean it with rubbing alcohol.

THEN, buy some clearcoat at autozone/kragens/O'reiley's and clearcoat it yourself. Spray two medium coats, and 1 heavy coat. In 3 days hit it with some rubbing compound.

Ta-da, I just saved you $300

there is a place here...said they would do it for 120? sanding it down and redoing it...has cracks in it and ****

92_boosted

far as i know...they do good work...buddy of mine has had them done...but is it worth 120...

Libertariat

For $120, i'd Do it.

most places will charge 200-300 for clearcoating a Cf hood.

But $120 sounds reasonable enough to me. Though after painting/clearing some parts on my car, i'd still rather cave my money and clear it myself.

No sanding even needed.

really, i can save the hassle and rid all the cracks and **** by just simply reclearing it? clearing it again will rid the cracks??

motor_man

yea 120 sounds good....... but along with ek foever guy id rather do it myself............

i just talked to a buddy of mine and he says he knows a guy there that can hook me up...so i might see anywhere from 60-100 in that case...

Libertariat

Then by all means go for it. I hope they do a good job and guarantee their work.

h8ted ek

let us know. when i get my hatch repainted. i can get my vis cf hood painted to, but the painter suggested to keep the cf look, he'll sand it and reclear it the same price i am payin for the whole car painted.

NOFX

I would try to find out if it's clearcoated or gelcoated first.

yea...whats the difference with that? they have some good work coming out of there shop...they mainly do hotrods, and street machines...but the few people have been happy with the outcome of some cf hoods
