yep

 

i tried sanding and re-clearing with dupli-color rattle can clear....

didnt work. looked like *** again in a few months.... get good clearcoat put on by a body shop

 

have them put 2-3 coats on there and wet sand and buff It will look great

 

Have you tried bringing it back with any products? The 3M fiberglass care kit seems to work very well on faded CF hoods: https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

 

i've tried all the chemicals available on the store counters... ill try bringing it to a shop...it cost 100 bill to sand/buff/recoat.. is that a good price?

 

I would say so.

Nice double post. If you are going to pay 100 dollars just to re-finish your hood that you cant even bolt on, why not just buy a new one?

 

cuz that would be a waste of money.. i paid 1 bill for this... might as well make the best out of it... i know i can some how get it to bolt on my car

 

Use duct tape.

So.....

$100 hood
$100 re-finish
$0 to not be able to actually put it on the car.

Definitely seems worth the $100 in savings over buying a new one.

 

well the best thing you could do is buy bigger bolts.. and you get it to bolt right on... go to a nearby boat store.. and buy HEAVY DUTY fiber glass cleaner/WAX restorer.. and you brand new...


you'll save money good job
